Winter Harvest Time
God’s bounty is beautiful. My winter garden is finally producing some nice lettuces and broccoli. The cauliflower are partially ready and I have four cabbages coming along (although caterpillars have helped themselves a bit). I just love that purple color. Rather unbelievable for a vegetable. I have another cauliflower, cheddar cheese-colored, and only a few inches in diameter, but the windstorm last night and today literally tore it apart.
Up next are the heirloom beets and watermelon radishes! For the second year in a row I did not plant any carrots and my beds I have reserved for onion starts have become overrun by poppy volunteers. It’s probably time to clear out those beds and get those onions in!
