Giant Mutant Vegetables

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Wednesday August 8th 16 hours, 29 minutes of daylight.

Wouldn’t you know, it hasn’t rained since we got home from the last trip. Endless hours of daylight as the sun circles around the sky. With all this camping I’ve been ignoring my garden, and had to spend many hours ripping out the weeds and trimming back aggressive plants. All the sunlight up here helps plants grow really large in the summer. Alaska is home to such wonders as the 1000 pound pumpkin and the 73 pound cabbage.

……Can’t wait to see what the State Fair will have to offer this year…
