Finally, it was time to reap what we sowed, to gather the fruits of our labour, to get our come-uppins. You get what I mean. It was time to uproot what was left of the garden plot. It was a yummy endeavour, as seen below.

| The bounty from our little plot, clock-wise from left: beets, beet greens, swiss chard, kale, mint, parsley, a few beans, little carrots, rhubarb, and and baby tomatoes. Also, from a friend's plot, 2 special guests: wee little cabbages. |

| Bags o' greens. This is the swiss chard, now blanched and frozen. |

|
|
 |
| Sweet bursts of tomatoey goodness. |
 |
| Wee little carrots, but oh-so-tasty. | | | | | | | | | | |

 |
| Rhubarb stalks. |

| An international salad: beet, orange, lemon, and poppy seed. |

 |
| A local dessert: Wild blueberries, wild cranberries, not-so-wild rhubarb and a touch of BC honey. Yum!! |

And you thought you couldn't grow vegetables in the Arctic. Pfff!
