Happy Canada Day! I'm off to Heritage Park with the family today, but first, a few more pictures of what the gardens look like at this time of year:
Above: We call the veggie garden area 'England', and it was built last year. You enter it through a structure which still has 'Blue Boy' clematis blooming on one side (and which is too narrow, it's on "the list"), and feast your eyes on the yummy food that is spread before you!
I am quite happy with the Square Foot Gardening layout I used this year. It looks rather like a patchwork quilt. Very decorative!
So far we've mostly been eating chives (!), and spinach and red orache salads. Elsewhere in the garden, haskap (honeyberries) are ripening, strawberries are in bloom, and we've been harvesting thyme, mint, parsley and oregano. Gawd I love this time of year!

Also, check back over the next few days as I post pictures of other areas of my garden as well!
