Although it may seem like there's not much going with TYs Veggie Patch these days, you'd only be partially correct. We've been enjoying the collards, lettuce and arugula that have been growing these last several months under the hoop houses. And we started some turnips, onions and parsley in the green house which we planted earlier last month (pictured here). They've been slow to take off but we haven't given up on them - yet.
This past week we took off the row covers to take advantage of the rain and sun. What a mild winter it's been so far! We pulled out the remnants of the last lettuce plants and harvested some collards, which we'll be enjoying with grits for dinner tonight.
The seed catalogs have been arriving which is super exciting. I've updated the current seed inventory so when we map out the spring garden this weekend, I'll know what seeds need to be ordered. Soon I'll be making newspaper pots and Tom will be getting worm compost ready for us to start the seeds. We're really going to maximize use of our small green house and get a jump on spring. No wimpy spring/summer garden for us this year!
