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.

Judy's butterfly garden
I've never seen a hummingbird moth before. My sister helped me identify it. Amazing!
Judy owns the community garden plot next to mine. She planted a butterfly garden along the path for everyone to enjoy. Its a moving experience of buzzing and color. Every time I go to my plot, I walk by and marvel. Last weekend I had my camera and took a bunch of photos.

I've spotted a hummingbird moth in my garden a few times, but I've never gotten as good a photo as you have!
Thank you for identifying that for me! I've seen them many times in my garden here in Greece and never knew what they were.
They are amazing creatures. I have a couple here....the first time I saw them was a few years back. They are so neat to watch. This spring, I spotted a baby one--it was so little.
What an amazing little creature! I wish he visited my garden :)
oh, I'm so envious! Very nice shot. SO cool. Thanks! =)
Aren't they amazing, I have only seen one here in London. But if visiting France I see loads, I couldn't believe what I was seeing first time, lucky Belmont Community gardeners.
