It's a new year,early January and it was about -10 degrees fahrenheit last night. The greenhouse is in an holding pattern, no growth and my access to fresh greens is getting slimmer and slimmer with each picking. The greens are very sweet with all the freezing weather, so very tasty just not as plentiful.
Time to start planning your early spring gardens. Greens tend to do best in the cool weather of spring and fall getting bitter in the summer in most places so get them in as soon as you can work the soil. Covering the soil with glass or plastic will aid in warming the soil faster making it possible for the seeds to germinate sooner and better.
Fresh greens are hard to beat when it comes to something good for your body and soul, grow some soon!
Wishing all a healthy, joyous New Year full of love and peace!
