OT: Reason I ask is because I have a garden in Ontario, grow a ton of stuff, but been spending summers in Newfoundland , and have a garden there also , I don't get much from either, but my neighbours do ok. Ontario matures while I'm gone and just about the time everything is ready in NL I'm back... a lot of fun to grow stuff though. So I won't starve , just have to be there when everything is in bloom...LOL Lots of fishing in NL this summer also. cod , flounder, herring and mackeral, first time I caught flounder in 40 years.

[edit2] - exception to above in the case of garden-fed venison, of course ... when my wife first came here, first morning we had several deer right in front of the window, she was so impressed, said 'O, muy sabroso el venado' ... 'very tasty' ... and they are
