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.

Mom and Dad's giant sunflower
My Dad has a sunflower that has grown to be a giant! We measured it today at 118 inches tall - nearly 10 ft. He took a picture of me and Skippy next to it.
Wow, that is a massive sunflower. I've always wondered, how hard are sunflowers to maintain? Did it take a lot of work for it to grow this high or does it pretty much do it by itself with the right amount of sunshine and rain?

Thanks,

Now that's impressive. Great pic Kathy!
My sister says: "Wow, looks like dad traded an old man and a dry cow for some magic seeds!"

Wow Wow! A diving bee, and a Blue Moon! Wasn't it bright? I loved watching it.
