Greenhouse Notes

With the temps, I’m looking at two things

the lowest temps
persistent low temps

So far, the cool weather veggies have fared well. Only the potato plant died.

There hasn’t been any frost on the greenhouse plants. I reckon because they are protected from dew, so they are protect from frost (?).

As an experiment, I’ve just planted some of the empty pots with lettuce, to see how well they germinate and grow in the greenhouse this time of year.

Garden Notes

Freezing temps have pretty much killed everything off.
Except the kale and collards.
And I’m harvesting well-mulched turnips for both us and the goats.
One pleasant days I continue to work on bed and aisle clean-out and mulching.
I haven’t made a big seed order so far this year. Rather, I’m buying select packets at the stores I shop at. Most of them now carry a choice of organic and non-GMO seeds, so a little here and a little there is easy on the budget while building my seed collection.

Harvested

kale
turnips
lettuce
chickweed
Jerusalem artichokes
dandelion root
hopniss

Planted

lettuce (greenhouse)
Egyptian walking onions (hoophouse)
thyme (hoophouse)

Photos

Photo was taken Jan. 5th of our last summer tomato,
ripened inside, with some of our greenhouse lettuce.

The only thing alive in the garden: kale and collards

Turnips store will in the well-mulched ground.

Hopniss (sometimes called ground nuts) are good boiled or in stew.

Greenhouse greens: chickweed, lettuce, and kale.

Also broccoli! This is actually from a plant I had last winter.
Somehow it survived the summer, even with a lot of neglect.

We’re in a warming trend (yay!) Yesterday was our warmest day this month, but we’re not sure how long it will last. We’re still grateful for it.

How is everyone else doing? Anyone making garden plans for next year?
