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.

Green, green, green
I just took this picture of my garden from the second floor window. So much green!
Looks so green and fresh! Many plants in my D.C. garden have been getting yellowish with all the heat and humidity we've had. We need a good soaking rain to give things a lift.
New England has had no shortage of rain this year. Everywhere it is green. I think a little cool and late on harvesting though. I harvested my first Early Girl tomato today, and my Brandywine are just starting to bloom this week. I have no records from previous years, so I really can't say for sure if we're late. I look forward to a sandwich like Christa in D.C. - a beautiful Brandywine sandwich June 22 (boy, did that look yummy) - but probably not until September for me. Thanks for your comments on my green garden!
