SMALL PLANET GARDENS

Winter veggies unfurling undercover!  Normally, we would plant our winter garden in late summer instead of mid fall so that the plants have a chance to get established before the days get too short.  Low light keeps winter plants from growing very big, even when they are warm enough in a hoop house or cold frame.  The nice weather carried on well into the fall, so we left the summer crops in the garden much longer than usual.  It has been so sunny and mild lately that maybe these guys will have a chance…grow, veggies, grow!
