Winter Garden 2014 Update


Here is the garden after 18 days.  Things are looking pretty good.  I did lose a few seedling of Buttercrunch lettuce; I guess they were just too tiny when I planted them.  I have seeded the empty spots with more.

Healthy looking Sorrel and a few of the Chinese Cabbage plants to the right, I have 12 of these planted.


Freckles Romaine Lettuce


Here are 6 Brussels Sprout plants.  Tony put these in and should have given them 2 feet between each plant; I will move some of them this week. 


Kohlrabi seedlings will be thinned out this weekend.


Graffiti, a purple Cauliflower 6 plants



Purple Russian Winter Kale 6 plants


Lacinato  Kale 6 more plants plus the big ones below.


I will probably pull on the taller kale here as it is starting to fall over.


My beloved San Marzano Tomato plant still growing and even has a few tomatoes on it.


Lots of lettuce plants!


More lettuce


And more....


a few more


,

and yes, still more! We eat a lot of greens


Snow Peas


Ruby Red Swiss Chard

That's it for now, I will post again in a couple of weeks.  This week we have Santana winds and high temperatures.  Today was 89 and tomorrow will be 90!  Welcome to winter in San Diego County!

    1. That will give you some time to browse the seed catalogs for next year, Doc.
