But the Banacks aren’t the only ones enjoying the fruits of their labour. A few feathered friends have been sneaking in for a snack. To keep the birds at bay, Dianna has installed some owl decoys and shiny trinkets throughout the garden.

fter a stretch of cool, rainy days, the sun has finally returned and gardeners across Camrose County are soaking it in. In Round Hill, Dianna and Jordon Banack (above) spent the weekend tending to their lush garden. The couple is growing more than a dozen vegetables this year, including corn, peas, tomatoes, onions and potatoes. Dianna looks forward to canning once harvest season begins, and plans on making some delicious pasta sauce and salsa with her homegrown tomatoes.
