my garden
Here’s a photo of my vegetable garden now. The frost covers are off and draped over trellises or the fence behind. Looking at this picture reminds me of things that will be happening soon – hopefully before snow cover arrives. Soon we are having a post and rail fence put in around the garden edges. It will be a nicer support for the metal deer fence than the crocked metal pole I have now. I need to take down the tomatoes supports at the left and pull those cornstalks at…
my vegetable garden
I’ve been experimenting with ways to photograph my vegetable garden. Above is a “panorama” photograph using my i-phone. And below, a regular photo.
the first year in Skippy’s new vegetable garden
These photos are from August 21 2013, March 11 2014, April 6 2014, April 26 2014, May 26 2014, June 12, 2014, August 31 2014 before fall clean-up, and August 31 2014 after fall clean-up.
not much left in the garden
The late fall greens are growing and lots will be ready soon. Hoops are standing bare, awaiting cold weather. The corn is down, I pulled all the carrots and picked all the eggplants. The broccoli is trying to broc again, but may not make it. Green beans are still making a few pods. Shell beans are finishing up. The peppers are going strong. I guess they’ll go right up to a frost.

I’m hoping this is an “in-between time” and that once again this year the garden will be full. I have lots of fall seedlings planted. Weather permitting. It looks like the last “ladder” photo I posted, but I’ve planted lots of little fall seedlings since then.
This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy thinks the garden is his, even though I do all the work. We're located near Boston, in USDA zone 6. I have bees, chickens, fruit trees and berry bushes, too. I use all sustainable organic methods and strive to grow all of my family's vegetables myself. -Kathy
