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.

a toast to the new season
We've done a lot of planting this weekend. Soon I'll have fresh homegrown vegetables for my martini. Radish, then carrots, then cucumbers, onions, melons, apples, pears .... And maybe I can discover a new martini this year. Today's martini is traditional - a couple of nice olives. Cheers!
Note added: Oliver sent me this link http://www.gineralelection.com/. Cute site. Now I'm really looking forward to fresh cukes - with Hendricks. (I think Oliver may work for them, but the site (and gin) is good anyway.)

Cheers & salud.
I was just talking to my husband about your blog. I have been following you for a while now... ( in a non stalky way)...
And i just want to thank you for helping me realise my passion. I am now looking for farm land, away from this concrete polluted jungle where I can do my life's work.
Again thank you for inspiring me. I hope one day I can do the same for someone!
I am really jealous!!! What fun.
cheers to spring and getting our plants in the ground! we have nice gentle rains here, brings tender plants and lots of WEEDS!
Hendrick's gin is fabulous, I hope you enjoy it.
