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!

one of my favorite gardens
Not my garden, but I wish it was.
I'm taking pointers from watching this gardener. Well spaced plants. Lots of soil covers. Beautiful varieties - great big dill, big purple eggplants.... And I LOVE the blue door. I'm always thinking of what to do with may garden next year, and here are definitely some ideas.
Belmont Victory Garden
Are those newspapers, used as row covers?
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah it looks lovely. I question, do you have a slug problem? if so how do you 'control' them?
ReplyDeleteNo slug problems this year. I'm not sure why, it is very damp.
ReplyDeleteIn the past I have used slug pellets around the basil and lettuce, since I don't know of an organic approach.
Maybe someone else has ideas.
