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.

potting up sprouted sweet potatoes
I have lots of little sprouts on my sweet potatoes so today I potted them up in soil. My first pot under the seed lights! I'm saving those big plastic lettuce and spinach containers for potting this year. They are a nice size.

Hi, Kathy,
As a new transplant to ths area, i was googling around to find info to learn to be a gardener here. I am so happy to find your blog. I've been enjoying reading your blog since I relocated here from the Midwest 3 years ago. Your blog has been my guiding post. Being a Midwest gardener for decades, I had to re-learn gardening in Boston area. Many thanks to you for spending so much time and sharing your passion with us. I now have established a small raised bed vege garden for my 5 year old grandson. We love it. Through reading your blogs, I feel like you are my first friend in my new city :-) Thank you for such a wonderful blog. Cathy
I can't wait to get mine going. I like your tray of dirt under the plant light method. I was wondering how to do mine exactly now that my windows are too cold to set them in front of.

Hi Cathy. Welcome to the NE! I'm glad you find my blog helpful. I'm happy to have a new blog-friend!
I have been watching the potted up sweet potato sprouts. Its amazing how fast they are growing now that they are in soil and under lights.
