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!

a nice fresh pile of horse manure
I still can't get over how great it is that a local horse owner brings his extra *** to the community gardens. A fresh big pile today.
Skippy has gotten very grown up about the pile. No more rolling in it or eating it. He gives a brief sniff and moves on.
So I shoveled a barrowful, maneuvered to my plot, and dumped it onto the bed that will grow my popcorn next year. Such pleasure to think about what will grow next year.....
That looks like a pile of promise. Never used manure before, I don't think our many neighbors that surround use would like it so much :-)
ReplyDeleteI de-shelled the Crimson Flowered Broad beans today that I saved this summer. If you are still interested in some I can send them now or early next year. Which ever you prefer?
Wow. We should trade something. Is there any seed you are looking for?
ReplyDeleteI think soon is best.
We could do a trade if you would like. The only thing that I can think of that I am looking for is some of those celeriac seeds. I would only grow about four plants so I wouldn't need very many seeds. If you don't have any left that is fine to, I can just send off some seeds.
ReplyDeleteI recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
