time and tide waits for no....
frost killed yellow squash |
tiny cauliflower - started heading in late October |
big beefy yellow tomatoes (heirloom) |

Some late harvest goodies from the garden.
The cold frame is doing well even with outside temperatures going sub-freezing overnight. Lettuce, arugala, and spinach gets harvested twice a week.
Garlic was planted just before thanksgiving. Twice as much as last year.

Sowing seeds in early March
About the time, the daffodils were blooming (early March), we began sowing seeds in our "clearance sale" $20 green houses. It may have been 40F outside, but it was a toasty 75F inside.

3 dishes: greens, cooked veg, fruit

sprouts are up...
Next weekend,t here looks to be a frost/freeze forecast. Have to get out the covers. Radish sprouts and some lettuce in the refurbished beds.
Also featured are some bokchoy plants that were on sale for $0.99/four. ONe can't beat 25cents for a delicious plant! Stir fry, here we come!
Onion (red) sets went into the "extra" 4'x4' box.
