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!

lots of lettuce
Still plenty of lettuce coming from my cold frame. I've been picking it for a full month now. I have about 10 heads left in the frame and by the time they're gone, the row I planted next to my tomatoes should be ready. I planted 4 9-packs with about 12 different varieties yesterday. I LOVE fresh lettuce!
I always seem to end up with a huge glut of lettuce! I guess it's because just planting 6 seeds at a time doesn't seem like enough at the time! I've taken to picking a couple of leaves off each plant as I go along.
ReplyDeleteHi! I found your blog after searching for tips on saving leggy broccoli! Love to see whar you're growing - today I thinned out Courgette's and Leeks :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ours is a little slow on the Lottie probably because the weather cannot make up it's mind.
