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.

wet garden
Nothing but rain in sight in our forecast. I hope my garden doesn't float away. But then there's not very much left in it anyway.
I have some great kale, which I am really enjoying. A few tomatoes and peppers trickle in. I am just now starting to pick a small planting of green beans. A few fall shell beans are ripening too. I have some odd radish I'll have to hardest and try soon. I have parsley and garlic chives. And my gourds are still growing. I planted a lot of fall greens, lettuce and other things, but its not really growing. (I bet I should have fertilized - I forgot this.) And I also have my four apples ready to pick on the little tree just to the left of this photo. I'm looking forward to eating these.
