Garden Update



















Behold, my prize-winning zucchini! Of the Black Beauty variety, I believe she'll be pretty tasty. The garden is really coming into its own, the tomatoes and cucumbers in particular. The sunflowers are looking nice too.

My next step is to build a cold frame so I can grow food all winter. I'm skeptical that this can be achieved in the Boston climate but this guy does it in Maine, so I figure I should give it a try. I just ordered some more organic, heirloom seeds from Maine's FedCo Co-Op, mostly lettuce but also some collards and yellow beets. Its embarrassing how excited I get about the garden, as evidenced in the picture above.
