Winter Harvest
There is something satisfying about harvesting in winter. Like I’ve succeeding in feeding myself year round.
With the abundance of seed catalogs arriving and my desire to get the garden started its nice to still be eating from last years plantings.
I pulled more carrots today, they have a nice sweetness from the winter cold.
These became a big part of my dinner tonight.
Also I wanted to show you some umbrella cloche’s I got last fall. I only got two because I wanted to see how they would work. They are super easy to use, use pull the string to open and push the stake into the ground. As you can see I put them over the romaine and the leaf lettuce before the first frost last fall and I am still harvesting. I have the lettuce’s planted in barrels but these work quite well. They are bigger around then the barrel’s so they actually vent themselves.
Romaine
Leaf Lettuce
I have never before picked romaine in January out of the garden. It is quite decedent. Of course it does have me thinking greenhouse now.
