2012 Winter Garden

Not Drawn To Scale or on graph paper even...Forgot to put in the one little egg plant...its down by the beans. There are also herbs scattered all over the garden in little containers and big ones-A LOT strategically squished into this little space!

Here is a layout of what's in the garden now in a roud-about way. I'm also compiling a list of the exact names of each planted item and where the seeds came from. Most are Seed Saver, but some aren't. I did use a bunch of seeds people had given me while still living up north so that they could get used up.

It was an eventful day starting tomatoes and peppers, prepping some beds for the rest of the greens, and planting new corn. If you must know the old corn that was going marvelous got eaten by a cat. I got careless and thought it was big enough so that the bird netting could come off and it became a salad bar. So today it was a re-start.

I had plenty of help of course. In the middle of filling pots for the Cherokees I stepped inside for just a second. I came out to Jewel eating one of the pots, so instead of 6 of these tomatoes I'll have 5.

I love this garden right now. I'm eagerly waiting the day  every seed has sprouted and things are going full throttle.

What?  I didn't know I wasn't suppose to eat that...

Frost damage...my okra did get a little burned, but its still going.  Okra isn't
even suppose to be growing now, but I'm not pulling it up!  I counted 15 little
 okra growing on the 4 plants...enough for me right now.  Mass production will begin in May.

my workspace today...I need to get a better seed storage system for all these packets I'm trying to use up.  Seeds I've saved are fairing better.
