-As noted previously, today has been a fair bit cooler than forecast. To the best of my knowledge, these cooler temperatures can all be attributed to the sun-blocking powers of massive quantities of throat and lung-irritating smoke. It seems reasonable to assume that as long as the smoke sticks around the temperatures will stay down, which is nice because it's not really open window weather at the moment.
-We've finally started harvesting food from our garden. So far we've managed to grab a few early kale leaves, some celery stalks, and quite a number of green onions. I suspect that for the next few weeks, at least until the peas come in, we'll more or less be suck with these three vegetables.
-On the fruit front we've also managed to grab a few raspberries and a few handfuls of haskap. While the haskap are likely just about done for the year, our real raspberry harvest is still probably a few weeks away. Hopefully by next year, when all of our plants are a little more established, we should really have good production from both types of plants. Sadly, our strawberries, now relocated to the front of the house, don't look as though they'll ever do all that much.
-Since some library school friends in town for a conference paid us a visit a few weeks ago Jeannette and I have been a little obsessed with tofu shish kebabs. Prepared with the broiler or the barbecue, these things are really great.
