Garden




on a gray, hot, humid morning

this is the place I most love to be this summer

Our community garden is on Winter Island...not an island, really, but a lovely, quirky peninsula surrounded by the rocky, New England coast...and the best part is, it's only a 15 minute walk from our house!

We've had bumper crops of swiss chard, lettuce of all kinds, sage, dill, chives and parsley and now our plots are on the verge of exploding with cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant and beans. This is my first year as a vegetable gardener and I am amazed at the quantity of veg two 4' x 4' plots can yield.

simply a miracle for this city girl !
