My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

    1. Yes the summer squash is going to town with its leaves and hopefully its zucchini catch up… not enough moisture so far I believe. And the other plant is a young Mullein…a plant that I nurture because they are so majestic.

  5. How inspiring to see how well your garden is doing in the hot weather. We are in the middle of a very cold winter over here and the dirt is too cold for me to put my hands into. Your photos remind me that winter will soon become spring.

    1. I like your description of the coldness as being too cold to put your hands in the dirt. It gives me a good idea of how cold it is where you are. While you are feeling the tug for spring, I am placing fall in the distant horizon (as much as I love fall it feels like summer needs to
      hang around for a while).

    2. It’s comments like yours that remind me how much there is to love about the world wide web. Imagine being in the middle of a heat wave and have someone write you from the other end o’th’earth speaking of frost and snow.
