First day of gardening for James Sulton, who digs a trench for his new pansies. Sulton will wait for his kids, Ava, 11, and Emile, 13, to actually plant the flowers after they return from school. “If not, they’ll be playing Xbox or on their iPad,” Sulton said. He will also plant two other flower beds in the front of his home on Hamlin Street near Sherman Avenue and a vegetable garden out back. “I work on it almost all year.” (Photo by Richard Cahan)

  1. Beautiful..me too, having turned our entire area..sides, front, parkway, back and alley into a rain water garden with a variety of plants, shrubs and a vegetable garden.

    This is a growing trend, inspired by “Go Green,” organizations in many towns and cities in the state, serving to provide food the Earth, one’s body, mind and soul.
