We're located near Boston, in eastern Massachusetts, USA (USDA hardiness zone 6a). I'm a biochemist and I garden as a hobby.<br /><br />Skippy is a 3 year old Portuguese water dog. He has very soft wavy black fur and a fantastic personality. He's a great gardening companion, even though he doesn't do any of the work.<br /><br />I've been growing a kitchen vegetable garden for many years now in a space next to my house. The space here is quite small (250 sq ft), and, as the years have gone by and the trees grown, its become quite shady. <br /><br />Last spring, I was excited to get a fantastic sunny community garden plot! Community gardening has been a whole new adventure for me. I now have lots of sunny garden space and I'm growing lots more vegetables. Plus I'm enjoying participating in a community gardening project.<br /><br />I have to admit that I garden mostly because I think vegetable gardens are beautiful. I love rows of seedlings, patchworks of greens, baskets of bright vegetables. I love the way gardens change with the seasons. My camera is my most important gardening tool.<br /><br />This blog is a way to record what's going on in my garden, to get advice from other gardeners and hopefully to inspire new gardeners. I am very enthusiastic about my hobby and love to share the experience of vegetable gardening. Skippy and I have lots of fun in the garden.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289630647756666355-7066710793633661448?l=skippysgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kathynoreply@blogger.com
