How does my garden grow? Organic, of course!

My neighbours all laughed as they watch me drive
the stake through the middle of this ladder back in June...I certainly believe in creative gardening!!!

The picture on the left shows the vegetable garden at the beginning of July, and one month later! While the weather may not have been overly conducive for holidaying this year, the rain, cooler temperatures and sunshine we receive in Parry Sound (Georgian Bay moderates our weather, while all the other areas around us receive the forecasted rain!) has been great for my gardens.

We will have a good crop of peppercorn squash this year - a nice surprise left over from when we cleaned out the compost and dug it into the soil... a lot of the seeds ended up germinating! The tomatoes are still flowering, and the first lot of beans has come and gone! If you come to visit 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast, you will have the chance to sample the produce - all of Chef Simon's breakfast recipes include the wonderful fresh herbs in one way or another, and tomatoes can be found decorating the plates of most of our savoury menu items.

PS - we might even send home a squash or two with you!
