A journal of my home vegetable garden. Skippy thinks it's his garden, but I've been gardening here for 20 years. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6). I have a big community garden plot and a small plot in my yard. I try to grow all of my family's vegetables using sustainable organic methods.
Isn't Google Earth amazing! It looks like this image is from mid-July of last year. I can see my squash plants are still looking like well-behaved separate hills. By August they were a tangled mess and spilling into adjacent beds. You can see the 16 new plots we added at the upper right.

I sure hope it is not a repeat of the 'season of blight'. That would be bad for all. I have a big bottle of Serenade tucked away in the shed just in case, but I hope I never need to use it.

I love this! I can't wait to check out my own yard.

That is so cool! I love it. I never had any idea it was this large. It would be so fun to garden with others as part of community. I just toil away on my own in the backyard.
