"Green Acres" it ain't, but we love owning and visiting the Hawksbill Cabin, near Stanley and Luray, Virginia, and a wealth of outdoor activities, including: the "World Famous" Shenandoah River, Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, Luray Caverns, and Massanutten Resort. From time to time we'll post about other stuff, too. As the number of blog posts grows, we've added a few navigation tools in the right column to facilitate getting around the site.

Fresh from the Truck Patch
Last week, Mary was able to go out to Hawksbill Cabin and spend some time there - she left me in charge of the truck patch while she was gone, and I was able to coax the tomato plants along enough to produce a couple of fruit - before July 4 even!
Here are the first two tomatoes out of the patch. This week, she has quite a few crook neck yellow squash showing up, and there are the first eggplants too. Meanwhile, she's pulled off several more tomatoes - and the first two have been eaten!
Now, I also have a photo here from Public House Produce. Their first haul of tomatoes came in last week as well - of course, David is growing heirlooms at scale. So this is just a peek at what's to come for the rest of the summer harvest season.
Hopefully the combination of wet and hot weather means a good truck patch season for everybody!
