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.
I found a little snow drop blooming in my garden today. We are having a January thaw with temps up to 60*F (!!!) today. I opened my cold frame all day to give the plants some air. Our temperatures are like a roller coaster.

What a lovely little harbinger of Spring, only it's sort of midwinter. hmm?
Our temps in Southern California are all over the place too. Very weird. The Carolina Cherry trees are just now budding after having their leaves go spectacular in the December cold.
I'm hoping I saved enough heirloom tomatoes for seeds this year.

Snowdrops give you Spring hope! I remember as a child the first time I thought to look inside the flower, so pretty. Our mad Squirrel likes them too, we have a game of fluffy thing dig them up, me put them back!
Our temperatures are mad too, I have tulips coming up ahead of Daffodils for some reason this year. We have gone from -4 daytime temp and snow last week to 8 degrees and rain today.
