Whipped up a dinner of roasted corn, cucumber salad, grilled zucchini, and I picked my first tomato today. It is very late for the tomatoes to just be starting to ripen; the plants are gorgeous, but the tomatoes stay green. The green bean crop is about over, it was cut short by an animal that decided to feast on the plants a couple of weeks ago. I figured it for a woodchuck, but then this morning there were the culprits, plain as day: a doe and a fawn were in the yard! Not a strange sight at all in Samsonville, where tall fences surround all gardens, but unheard of in Castleton. Sigh. I guess the hounds were off duty. Does this mean that next year I'll have to fence my veggies here too?
