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.

wahoo! my leeks have broke ground on their heat pad, time to move them off the heat...nw coastal gardener
Go sprouts!! My leeks will be a few more days yet. I’ve been peering deeply into the seed pots, but no little yellowish-green sprouts yet. I fell off the wagon so to speak today and bought more seeds. I really do have enough already. I got 5 or 6 more packets from Johnny’s. Several varieties of peppers, a zinnia mix, orange gem marigold, and that new funky cross between a kale and a Brussels sprout. I was wondering who grows this crazy stuff. Well I’m planning to give it a try.
I fell off the wagon too...I am expanding my flower cutting garden this year....just ordered some calendula and snapdragon seeds from Floret Flower Farm for my cutting garden...I ordered other flowers from them earlier.... their flowers are selected just for cutting...would you believe after the warm weather we had we now have snow on the ground...very rare here on the beach...nw coastal garden
you grow bandit leeks too, I have always had good germination...85-95% this year I needed new seeds and only a third of the seeds have germinated...how have yours done? I reseeded yesterday. nw coastal gardener
My Bandit leeks came up very well. It took them about 5 days I think.
