Farewell to Minter Gardens

 
Last weekend we went, with friends, to visit Minter Gardens. This is the last season for this popular commercial garden. The sun was warm, the buffet in the Trillium Restaurant was delicious, the flowers were magnificent, and the company stellar.

Harvest Time

 
Another trip to the garden, this time to harvest more potatoes. Getting out early in the morning to beat the heat is the only way to go. The garden is a model of lushness and bounty. The plants are healthy and yielding large amounts of produce which we have already been enjoying in salads and the potatoes in a variety of ways. We stopped for blueberries on the way home. Delicious!

Visit

 
Saturday visit to see my dad. Actually, where my dad's remains are. The headstone from 2002 was refurbished and looks like new.
