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
Amazing how fast things are growing in the hot weather we FINALLY have this week. The garden is awesome. Overrun with squash vines. Fantastic cabbage heads. Corn is taller by the minute. I could sit and watch all day!
Today I harvested lettuce, dill, patty pan and zucchini squash, a giant Chiogga beet, a couple small onions, a green Thai hot pepper, and a handful of broccoli. Oh, and I almost forget, another cherry tomato.
That is a very pretty harvest. I'm not getting much summer squash yet. The female flowers keep shriveling up before they even open. I think with the warm weather this week, that may change.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your finally getting the summer weather you've been waiting for! I bet your in for some heavy harvests if things stay that way for a bit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful harvest Kathy, it is fun day now I just love these wonderful day's of harvest.
