These are a few miscellaneous pictures from Prince Edward Island that were not included previously.
The first picture is of a potato field, the second is of a potato field that has been planted with Buckwheat, about every 3-4 years, to control the wireworm. Mustard plants are used as well and apparently, increase the output of the potatoes that are subsequently planted.
The pie, which is real, is from Green Gables and we were told that it has been there for 14 years. It was quickly added that when the pie was baked and cooled, it was covered with something to preserve it. Maybe some kind of Botox...
The tractors seem to be a personal museum at a farm along side a road. Different makes and this type is not used today. The tractors that we saw in the fields were 4 to 5 times larger and "they run like a deere."
