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.

mid summer wildflowers
I'm adding some pretty photos to follow the warty toad and blighted potatoes. The fields near our community gardens are beautiful now with bright mid summer colors. Joe Pye Weed is always my favorite. Its just starting to bloom. Also lots of golden rod, purple loosestrife, milkweed, vetch and Queen Anne's Lace.
wildflowers, weeds, invasives and natives

Last year I planted a butterfly garden surrounding my veggie garden. It's finally starting to bloom. Flowers and vegetables.., what could be better!
Yes, all gardens need some flowers. Purple loosestrife is on the list of not allowed to grow here in Nebraska.
Great photos!
