I think it might actually be winter here. Tonight's temperature is due to dip down to 18 degrees F (-7.8 C). The coldest we've had this winter. I, of course, had uncovered all my beds and had to go out with a headlamp and fight the wind to get the row covers up.
Here's what my garden looked like during the first week of February. You can click on the image to make it larger and read the labels. And be sure to ignore the weeds invading the paths! A great thing about mild winters is how many veggies keep growing and producing. The bad thing is that the weeds enjoy the weather too.
This was my first year of growing and harvesting through the winter. Next year I want to expand with more broccoli, carrots, and lettuce. Since it has been such a mild winter, I'm not really sure what to expect in a more typical winter. I may be experiencing beginners winter gardening luck!
Wow your garden is organised. That is fabulous - how much space do you have?
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I think the raised bed area is about 450 sq ft.
DeleteYour winter garden is doing great! This winter's weather has been crazy for sure. I have lots of weeds and bugs loving it!
ReplyDeleteYour vegetable garden is beautiful. Maybe I'll be inspired to grow something besides flowers this year.
ReplyDeleteI have the opposite problem. I made a bed that was suppose to be flowers and I'm already plotting where I can squeeze in some veggies!
DeleteHey, this was my first year also growing winter crops. NJ's cold spells are supposed to be worst than yours. But, luckily hardly any winter this year. So, I should also claim that I am having beginner's luck.
ReplyDeleteYour garden look fabulous. I could not find any weed though. The design is also very nice.
