This weekend is a holiday for most folks but here at the Fiddlehead Cottage, it's always a weekend of work.
First of all, it keeps us out of any traffic that's congealing in places like Woodstock or along Route 4. And you just don't cut back gardens or put lawn furniture away in August.
So I dug up the carrots yesterday and vowed to plant more next year. Nothing—absolutely nothing—in the vegetable world tastes quite as good as a newly picked carrot that's been washed in cool water.
The crunch is exquisite and the taste is sweet. I plant Sugar Snax seeds and they certainly live up to their name.
I also picked enough basil yesterday to make our first batch of fresh pesto, and it came out really good.
Well, it's off to chores! Just wanted to post before complete exhaustion set in.
