My Garden Lives!

We went to Israel for 2 months this summer. Here in Greece, they had the hottest, driest summer on record. Imagine my surprise to find my tomatoes, peppers and eggplants alive and well! Yippee! Now I'm clearing the weeds, giving a well deserved watering and preparing space for fall crops. The weather cooled off a couple of days before we arrived and I've enjoyed several horseback rides in the company of my pair of Sar Planinac Livestock Guardian Dogs, Hera & Calypso. Well, back to clearing weeds and preparing the barn for the return of our 3 Saanen goats and 20 chickens. A friend has been critter-sitting all summer.
