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.

today's harvest
The last of my garlic, a couple cucumbers, and three very beautiful beets.

we buy the last of the farm stand garlic around Thanksgiving. That becomes our seed garlic.
That's a good way to get seed garlic. Then you know you have a type that grows well in your area.
I generally save the biggest heads from one year and plant them the next. About 10-15 heads, so I can plant about 100 cloves. I think I've only bought seed garlic twice in the past 10 years.

I think this post is missing a picture
I've very slow with adding the pictures. I often enter text with my cell phone, but can't enter the pictures from it. Maybe I can add some tonight.
