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.

end of the summer
With only two days left to summer, here's a late afternoon shot of my garden from the upstairs window.
Today I removed the row covers from the broccoli and kale since I haven't seen any white butterflies around in a while. The plants look pretty good. The extra broccoli seedlings that I didn't cover were eaten almost to nothing. I'll eventually post photos of these two.
Also today, I got out my hoe and prepared some soil for my fall lettuce. I have some seedlings I planted several weeks ago. Tomorrow I hope to plant these and my last seeds of the year.
A full size version of this aerial photo is here. You can see all the plants close up.

Hey, Cool garden! Must be challenging with 200 sf in such a northern climate. I gardened in 6th grade in southern california. The growing season was so nice but I have not had a garden since. I think I have missed it since then (I am now 23) and can't wait to start sometime again. Your pictures and commentary were really nice to look at!!!
