Things have been slow in the garden. A recent rise in temperature has given my crops some more sunshine and it was enough to make them ready to harvest.

I pulled out a big bowl full of spinach leaves, some broccoli, cauliflower and also 4 beets. The vegetables were not particularly large as we have not had much sun or heat around here, but considering I was able to produce anything at all during Winter, I was extremely pleased.

I bought some organic mulch and laid it on top of what were the tomato and eggplant/pepper boxes back in the summer. I’m giving the soil in those boxes some rest for the duration of Winter.

Around late February or early March I expect to start the Summer crop indoor seeding, and probably also the Fall crops.
