Even in the suburbs of Boston, the pesky squirrels and birds want their piece of my tomatoes. It has been a very weird year for gardening – I have had to water ever single day! But my 2 cucumber plants have produced 50+ cucumbers – an amazing haul and more than we could ever eat! Lots of sharing. I am also a big fan of composting – the soil is 100% key to a successful garden! Nice work!

I put in a garden for the same reason when my child was a baby and now, at age seven, he’s amazing at planting and looking out for plants (as well as our chickens – another great garden addition!). He even volunteers with me at the local community garden and is in charge of the peas. For next year, look into companion plants if you haven’t already. You might also want to try growing your own garlic – it tastes so much better than the store bought ones and aside from planting them in the fall they require minimal upkeep.
