of August.. yikes... already it's here... and what did i see this morning...... Geese flying in formation..... i'm assuming its a practice run but there is a definate pre-fall feel, the temperature has lowered, the humidity is up and the garden has that August frazzled look.... the beans are just starting, i've had a few cucumbers and a lot of tiny tomatoes... it seems that i neglected to plant any bigger tomatoes.. no sandwich size... must remember for next year.. (thats what my blog is good for!!) i suffer from a cronic case of CRAFT (Can't remember a flipping thing) disease... and no, nothing new either! anyways... next year i MUST plant at least 1 beefsteak type tomato.. i've even had the first start of my cute little Patty Pan Zucchini... i was beginning to wonder what was going on... flowers flowers and more flowers but nothing would set... i have what looks like crookneck squash and 2 spagetti squashs flowering and even some fruit... wish me luck!!! i've been doing some succession planting of salad greens, a couple of rows of peas and made a spot for my fall brassicas...
my peppers are doing very well and i've had a few in salsa and added them to some dinner things and salads...
this past weekend was a bit of a road trip over to Port Renfrew, which is on the southern west side of Vancouver Island... was a gorgeous day so got a few pics... the bear was on the beach, and thankfully not too close as there have been some 'issues' with bears lately... perhaps they are fed up with us humans!

| Sockeye Salmon... this year so far is a decent run of salmon... lets hope more get up the rivers than on the plate! |

these guys were setting out a net for fish... one guy swam out and threw in an anchor with a bouy attached, the tide came in and the net stretched out... poor fishies!!
