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.

my side yard garden
Lots of chores after returning home to my gardens:
- To all side yard beds, added composted, turned and buried irrigation lines
- Potatoes planted in far left bed: All Blue, Cobbler, Green Mountain and Butte Russet. I'll leave the irrigation line above the soil for now in this bed.
- Marigolds planted along front of cold frame
- Spread old salt hay between beds (not quite enough - I'd like to get more)
- Admired all the green in the cold frame

Looking good!!
Is your irrigation system like a soaker hose (millions of micron holes) or does it have drip emitters?
You're garden is starting to take off!
My irrigation system has little holes in solid tubing. I like it because it has lasted for nearly 10 years now. Soaker hoses need to be replaced yearly I think.
I will add a label/link to info on the system.
What great cold frames! Hope your greens are doing well.
