Finally got back to the garden after a vacation. Have to say thanks to everyone - the plots look beautiful. Everything is lush, green and lovely.
Thanks for everything.
We cannot believe it's already September, but time does fly, doesn't it. For anyone interested, Sept. 7 is the annual Boxborough Harvest Fair. It's a great chance to get the garden some visibility and to earn some bragging rights, as well.
 We plan on entering the mammoth sunflower growing at the entrance of our plot. Walking around today, I saw great green beans, some nice tomato plants, squash and a few others. All worth giving it a shot.
The photo on the right is a long-range shot of the sunflower in question. That little person is our daughter Abby.
Thanks to Manisse for the other two photos - on the left is an okra flower. At right are morning glories.
So, please, crow a bit about the summer. The fair is fun  and there is pleasure in having all the hard work recognized.
Again, thanks for your efforts keeping the garden neat and clean. Hope to see you Saturday.

A final note: The garden closes for the winter on Oct. 31 and we'll be having a work day to pull down the fence, clean up the rocks/etc. Please keep your eyes open for an announcement of when that work day will be - we really need the help. Thanks .
