Winter Dreams

Anyone who thinks that gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year. For gardening begins in January with the dream. ~Josephine Nuese

Garden plans for this year are slowly taking shape.  The first seeds have been sown and glimmers of new life are always the reality of the dream.

Kale and lettuce sown Jan 17. sprouted Jan 21

 

 I am still picking spinach, lettuce, kale and carrots from under my row cover in the garden.  We are anticipating the coldest temperatures of the winter this week.  I am not doing anything extra to keep the plants under the cover from freezing.  Time will reveal how hardy they are.
