Harvest Monday 2/13/12

This week in the garden I harvested what are now the familiar veggies of winter: broccoli, spinach, lettuce, and radishes.

The broccoli continues to produce little side shoots, which is perfectly fine with me.  They can keep on producing until the asparagus arrives.  They are occupying what is going to be the asparagus's permanent home.

I also had a couple of salads from the garden this week and pulled a bunch of radishes.  A couple of small ones, medium ones, a giant one, and one red one came out of the garden this week.  Check back on Thursday to see how I cooked this bunch of radishes.

 

Weekly totals:
Broccoli: 6.1 oz
Radish: 17.2 oz
Spinach: 1.3 oz
Lettuce: 0.9 oz

Weekly total: 2.1 lbs
Yearly total: 14.2 lbs worth $21.51

February Garden

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!
