Here it is, December 30th, two days before a new year, and I'm still taking greens (and more) out of my garden!
It's been a warm "winter" thus far, except for a few sub-twenty days (but not as warm as Oklahoma, CJ!).
So, I'm still harvesting arugula (lettuce), chard, kale, Brussels sprouts (huge!), even collards. The last of the broccoli was picked a couple of days ago.
Non-greens include beets, carrots, parnsips, even radishes. I have a pile of leaves and pine needles ready to cover the in-ground vegetables when cold weather strikes, if ever.
Below freezing temperatures are necessary if my daughter and SIL's house-to-move is to occur. It's been lifted off the original foundation and ready to move the one mile to the site to be occupied. We just need frozen ground.
On a related subject, we're meeting with the lawyers today to deed 20 acres of my farm to them for their sustainable food operation. Things are progressing. I don't wish to bore you with details--just being informative. If mybloggers will permit me, I'll add a photo to my gallery of the house they're moving. Check it out.
Later.
