  5. Wow, that's a lot of greenery.
    And makes me want to make my fav spinach dish... Chop up fine and cook with fine chopped onions and a smidge of garlic, throw into a bowl with some ricotta, feta, an egg, squeeze of lemon, pepper and some pine nuts. Put inside filo parcels. Yum.

  7. Spinach in July, ah I see, you live in Saskatchewan. It is lovely. But even you have ripe tomatoes before I do...

  8. Great harvest!! I wish I had some greens this time of year. Ours all bolted months ago!

  9. I see why you are waiting for ripe tomatoes being zone 2a. I thought 4 was bad. How long is your actual growing season and how warm to you get in the summer?

  10. Wilderness- We have about 120 growing days with last spirng frost being may 21st this year and they are calling for 1st fall frost to be sept 15th. Durring the summer we average in the 30s C (90-95 F).

    Michelle- I am loving the spinach. My one tomato plant was store bought so it is a month ahead of the rest

    Susan- With fall knocking I shouldn't complain too much!!

    Random- It is very yummy!!

    David- thank you...yep all the way up here in Zone2a could be worse though...LOL

  11. You have about the same growing season as I do but we don't get anywhere near as hot as you in summer and -40 F is about our coldest but that doesn't happen very often.

  12. wow lettuce and tomatoes! can't do that here in the desert, at least not right now. I'll be lucky to get the lettuce up big enough to pick and eat with the last of the tomatoes.
