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!

today's harvest
A nice crop of bok choy, a big pile of spinach and lots of lettuce (Prizehead and broadleaved escarole).
Your veggies always look amazing! I hope mine come out half as good! I am blogging about my first gardening experience: http://alizardinthegarden.blogspot.com and am in awe of your gardens and your blog!! I have learned a lot from you! thanks!!
Beautiful!! we've unfortunately had 5 hail storms the last 3-4 weeks which has mostly destoyed the veggie garden, the clouds are once again rumbling so I've covered the thrice planted tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. I'm just glad we aren't farmers!

ReplyDeleteHooray for your spinach! It always bolts for me!
ReplyDeletegreat crop, you do it well!
ReplyDeleteWe had some silver beet on our sheperd's pie tonight.

Those greens are making me soooooooo hungry! I can't wait until mine are ready to harvest, too.
ReplyDeleteMy spinach was nearly three feet tall - very bolted. But the leaves were still nice. And at least the miners I had early this spring went away.

I envy the spinach. Mine, though super-tasty, just wasn't that prolific--and now it's bolted.
