We planted only a few pumpkins in a garden area now covered by stones, which had been well-sprayed to keep the weeds down, for several years.

Thank you. Your garden is "going great guns" as my mom used to say. Congratulations and good eating.<br /><br />A novelist you might like is Martin Walker. His series takes place at St. Denis in the Dordogne area of France and there are many scenes in which gardens and food and eating are front and center. The first book in the series is "Bruno, the Chief of Police." The writing is excellent.

My Whidbey garden was almost burnt up from lack of rain. This looks to be a hot, dry summer.<br />Your garden is looking good! We harvested a small bowl of strawberries yesterday and enjoyed them with a little vanilla ice cream. <br />We spent six hours on the road today, going south for a family memorial service.
