Janet's Expensive Vegetables

Earlier this summer, Phil bought two raised garden beds for Janet to put in the vegetable garden.  The old beds were made of wood, that over the course of time, rotted.  When the beds arrived, Phil lost said the screws to hold them together were missing.  He ordered more screws, which took quite a bit of time to arrive.  After that, Phil ordered some gardening soil, which he hauled to the new raised beds.  A lot of time has now passed by.

Janet thinks she is a lame vegetable gardener, but we think that is an insult to people who actually are lame.   She needs to do a lot of hard work to elevate her skill level to lame!

This is what the "Victory Garden" looks like to date.  See those teeny, tiny little plants on the far left?  Janet says they are carrots.  Janet also says she might be harvesting them in November!  If  they were banking on the bounty from this pathetic display, both of them would weigh 95 pounds!

The bottom line on Janet's little garden is that it was planted way, way too late.  Then came Meg and Derek's wedding and the whole thing was pretty much forgotten.

We heard Janet tell Phil that she thinks the radishes may be the only thing to come to fruition, and that being the case, she said each radish has cost about $50!  Our nephew, Brad is a excellent vegetable gardener and he has already told Janet he will help her next year.  Please, please, Janet - take Brad up on his offer!

Noodles and Janet went for a walk over by the Marina, and look who they bumped into:

It's Neighbour Wendy and Mr. David Burr! We like them!  Neighbour Wendy had a little doggie, named Druce.  Druce was really cute and old and has gone to Doggie Heaven.  Funny thing about Druce, even with the loss of eyesight, Druce was still able to guide visitors to the cookie jar!

It looks nice and sunny out, but we had another thunder storm!  We hardly ever get thunder storms, but have had three this summer.  We were nervous!  Janet stayed with us in the kitchen so we could calm down.

Janet and Phil had lunch at their favourite pizza place.  They had a delicious appetizer special of crostini.  The bread was topped with Heirloom tomatoes, pulled prosciutto, fresh cheese, basil and onions.  There were a total of four pieces, but they are such pigs, they inhaled the first two before taking a photo.
