Cottage Vegetable Garden

Well, not wanting my children to have all the fun I'm starting a vegetable garden at the family cottage. See what my daughter and son are doing to understand where my inspiration comes from!

This is going to be a challange. Why? Well, we are in Southern Ontario in the Canadian Shield. That means lots of rock and not much soil along with a short summer season. A day's walk from here and you will be half way to the North Pole. We also have to contend with raccoons, squirrels, mice, deer and moose (yes, I know the books say deer and moose don't coexist but I have seen both.) Oh! I did not mention the black bears, rattlesnakes and the turtle that came up from the lake last spring to lay her eggs.
