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!

christmas day
Pictures of my garden on Christmas Day. Happy Holidays all!
I hate to show it, but here's what the voles have done to my tunnel.
I was told that castor oil is the solution to voles in winter tunnels. I see several web sites that explain how to use it. Next year I will have a beautiful tunnel!
Any eggs yet?
ReplyDeleteYes! My young black australorp started laying last week. She's laying neatly an egg a day. Five so far. I'm hoping the rest will start again soon now that the sunlight is increasing.
ReplyDeleteI see some bee hives!
ReplyDeleteMy second pulley is now laying. Yeah two hens laying eggs. I guess the older girls are waiting for more light.
ReplyDeleteYes I have some bee hives that I hope to learn enough about to fill this spring. I can't find a local class so I have a book to read.
ReplyDelete"This Old House" had a segment on bee keeping. Maybe you can find the video on their web site.
