A New Year, 2012

My first posting this year is to put last year away. I did have a very good late / winter garden with great broccoli, cauliflower, beets, and cabbage. I spent most of the 2011 gardening year recovering from a total left knee replacement.

On January 30, 2012, I planted sugar snap peas.

Stay tuned for 2012.

Spring Garden

I start this new garden year with lettuce.

Winter has arrived

Starting to clear out the plants that were frozen.

Clearing the beds of the frozen plants. Ace is keeping me company.

Several below freezing days in a row nailed the broccoli and cauliflower.

The beds have been cleaned. The 2010 garden has ended.

Fall Harvest

Broccoli heads ready for harvest just before the snow.

Cauliflower is later this year. Last year I had mature heads at Thanksgiving. This is not a fully matured head.

I am pulling all of the beets that remain from the second crop. The forecast temperatures for the next 6 days shows that the daily high will only be in the mid 30's. Today is December 4, 2010.

Harvest just before the snow. 14 heads of broccoli, 4 cabbage, a bucket of beets, and the 2nd head of cauliflower. I also cut 2 - 5 gallon buckets of curly kale and 2 of turnip greens.
