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!

March nor'easter aftermath
Here's the aftermath of the nor'easter we had last night. Eight inches of very heavy wet snow piled onto the trees and brought down many branches, including two huge ones from my beautiful Carolina silver bell that landed on my chicken coop. No damage to the coop but it took a lot of effort to clear and burn the fallen wood.
I had built a lean-to over my new little lettuce tunnel and the plants look just fine underneath.
That's a lot of snow in a couple of weeks. It's good that your greens are snug in a tunnel.
ReplyDeleteYes, way too much snow. I'll go check the greens in the tunnels tomorrow. I hope I can open the tunnels for a few days and let the plant get full sunlight. The sun is pretty nice now.
