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.

watching the thermometers
My gardening has turned into watching the thermometers from inside the window. The bigger monitor has a sensor inside my cold frame, and the little one is outside. (The balmy 63.3 is inside the house.) I took this photo on a recent chilly night. The cold frame stays warmer when the temps dip low. They go up quite a bit when in the morning when I get a bit of sun on the frame. But right now, as I look, outside is 55* and inside the frame is 50*. The greens inside are still OK. I picked a dinner of broccoli by flash light last night - 2 minutes from garden to pan. I love it!

It's chilly here too! Just a few inches of snow and the whole of the London infrastructure falls apart!
Wow - snow in London already! We haven't seen a flake yet here in Boston.
Yep it's here, pretty but so hard to get about. People moan, but I guess it's because until the last couple of years we generally don't get much snow. So we are not prepared with enough clearing machines etc. It must be a large investment. Forget the World Cup buy snow and ice clearers!!
OOps did we get the World Cup? Can you tell I follow football??
