This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

Echinacea purpurea - Eastern Purple Coneflower
The genus name is from the Greek echino, meaning "hedgehog", an allusion to the spiny central disk. Its so perfectly arrayed its mesmerizing.
