Greenhouse Glee

It's so great having a greenhouse.  It was a big production putting it together but most amazingly we did it (emphasis on the we).  I had so much help and am grateful to everyone who helped.  And now from humble seedlings our greenhouse is exploding.  It went from this: 

To this:

We are harvesting peppers, eggplants, chillies, melons and even tobacco (I know it's weird--I had this urge to burn it in a smudge to cleanse people and things because that's how I heard it was used originally). 

And for no other reason than it's beauty, here's our rosemary plant.  Finally I think it's starting to thrive.  Maybe it just needed the right greenhouse.

And just today we harvested our first tomato.  The start of August is common in Ontario but out here you're lucky to have tomatoes by mid-September.  And by then you're throwing sheets on every night to keep the frost off.  So we are very blessed (thanks be to plastic).

And we enjoyed our tomato as part of a very yummy summer supper.  Store tempeh but besides that most of the meal came from our garden I'm proud to say.  Happy summer!
