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.

winter solstice
Definitely a season to celebrate!! Finally the days are getting longer. Every day a little more sun. A time for growing, planning and hoping. A true start to a new season.
To celebrate, I've collected photos of light. One of the most beautiful things.
