That there? That’s the good side of having to miss the garlic festival. We’ve had a lot of wind the last two days, and all the ripe tomatoes and ground cherries (plus a bunch of green ones, but they can ripen indoors) got knocked off the bushes. So at least I was in town to gather them up. I also had time to harvest my savoury, which was going into bloom and reeeeally had to be picked, and yet another ginormous bowl of lettuce.
I’ve had so many salad greens this year I’ve given away or even composted half of them. A 4 x 4 stretch of bed is, apparently, too much salad for me. I’ll sow less next year… maybe put in extra parsnips, or more zucchini or something. We shall see.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
