Garden Catch-up (February 2016)
I took quite a few pictures of the garden this year. I just did not get them posted! I was able to harvest broccoli about once a month during the winter, until January 23rd. I was able to harvest baby lettuce, kale and chard about twice a month all winter and into the spring. Here are some February pictures.

These were direct seeded in late September. |
In late February, the carrots I had planted in September were growing well under the tunnel cover. The lettuce, chard and kale were continuing to grow and I was continuing to harvest it every few weeks.
