Fresh and colorful veggies make the dreary winter days a bit better.
We've also been working on getting the garden ready for spring. I added compost to the rows that don't have winter crops, which is two thirds of the garden. Then we tilled on Friday and Saturday. The fence is still down on one side, so hopefully the deer don't figure that out and decide to work on my winter veggies. I've also started onion, tomato, pepper and cabbage seeds inside. It won't be long until spring planting and summer harvests.
Weekly harvests:
Carrots: 24.3 oz
Swiss chard: 12.6 oz
Spinach: 3.5 oz
Lettuce: 3.7 oz
2016 Harvests: 24.8 lbs
That's all the harvests coming from my garden this week. To see what others are harvesting check out Harvest Monday at Our Happy Acres.
That sure is a lovely basket of freshly harvested produce. My mouth is watering looking at the beautiful lettuces.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous harvests - it will be a couple of months before we see some greens from the garden. It's at this time of year when the wait seems the longest.
ReplyDeleteYes! I find February the worst month of winter. Then I get all excited about March thinking it is spring because we will have some really nice days, but then winter will try to come back.
DeleteThe carrots look nice to me too! And the greens are always a nice touch too. I thought winter was done here but they are talking a chance of snow this week, then temps back in the 60s. I was wearing shorts a couple of days ago. I'm hoping the deer don't wander in your garden!
ReplyDeleteWe had some unseasonably warm weather here too. It seems that at least for the next couple of weeks, we have no snow or ice in the forecast. I'm hoping we can make it to spring without any more really cold weather.
DeleteYour lettuces and carrots look amazing. And that's great that you're able to till already! We've been waiting for the waterlogged ground to dry up, sometimes tilling is delayed more than a month because of all the spring rain. I'm so excited at the idea of summer vegetables.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself to till in the fall, but it hasn't happened yet. We are getting almost three inches of rain this week, so I was afraid that if we didn't till last weekend, then it was going to be soaking wet for at least another month.
DeleteOh, lucky, lucky you to have all those veggies this time of year! We just had a blizzard but spring is just around the corner! Nancy
