More harvesting and a few bee stings

We spent the morning volunteering for the Maine Audubon Craft Fair (taking donations at the entrance) and then wandered around the Fair for a while enjoying talking with some of the artists.  We then harvested a whole bunch of tomatoes, the rest of the red onions and some blueberries.  It was quite enjoyable until Marcia was stung twice, first on one ankle, then on the other.  Earlier I had what I think was a bee sting on my calf.  Things are definitely winding down now.  We will probably be removing the squash plants soon and maybe the chard, which is hopeless.  There is a bit of blight on all of the tomato plants and even the pole beans, which are just blooming, seem to have a touch of something going on with the leaves.  Still very beautiful in our "back yard"!
