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.
peas planted!

my shady home garden
The boards between the vegetables patches are my new thing this year. They are slats from old pallets. They make good walkways. I used to just jump the 3.5 ft beds, but this year I find I am ending up stepping on plants instead of clearing the bed. I think the boards look nice.
I went ahead and uncovered my brassicas (no big deal - that's just the kale and broccoli in the center of the photo). I had them covered to avoid cabbage worms and flea beetles. I got tired of the look of the white row cover and the water doesn't get under the covers so well. Its nice to see all the garden greens.
