Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row

  4. mmmm, this cake is tempting me, is similar to the one with the carrots.
    Compared to yours, my vegetablegarden is much smAAAAAAAAller, We have already eaten all the salad , but I have really good tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, shallots, and various odors, that will end before the end of summer.....

  5. mmmm Zucchini bread for breakfast, mmmmmmmm So moist it doesn't even need butter or cream cheese. No celery or onion; our Spring salad is coming to an end and it's time to put in some summer salad. Past time actually! The carrots will have to be pulled up in October at the this rate. But that's all good: Carrot soup for the Fall months. The new (old) freezer chest (from auction, $23) will be full of our veggies!
