Celery root, carrots and red cabbage. Bonus points for spotting the sunchoke!
Yes, you read that right! Very excited to get a few things out of the garden yesterday and even more excited that there is more to come!
Lots of beautiful kale!
A bit of spinach.
Arugula.

The snow melted and what do you suppose I found underneath?!
Enough to make a salad with…and there’s more out there. I saw some kale and red beets…maybe even some chard.
Don’t you love gardening?!

July’s challenge was about winter gardening and seed saving. Challenges included:
1. Winter gardening
2. Planting carrots for the fall/winter
3. Saving seeds
I missed the deadline for the link-up to the website (here if you want to check out what others have done), but here’s what I’ve done:
1. Winter gardening
Kale and broccoli for transplanting in a few weeks.
Kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts and some herbs for indoors.
I reseeded my polyculture beds with greens and other cold weather veggies.
Lettuce and arugula for the fall inside my bean tepee.
2. Carrot bed
Carrots and a few other goodies seeds and (hopefully) germinating. The sticks etc are to keep the cats out.
3. Saving seeds
I have saved some chive seeds and plan to try to get some lettuce seeds. I’ve let some of it bolt and I’m waiting for seeds to set. I also plan to save tomato, pepper and cucumber seeds, but I am afraid some are hybrid, so we’ll see. The corn is definitely a saver as are beans.
August challenge is out – preserving food. Whew, I have a head start on that one!!

Fresh salad for dinner last night. In January!
Corn salad looking green and yummy!
LOTS of arugula!
I should have taken a photo of the salad itself looking all yummy with feta and chick peas and tomato on top of those lovely greens, but I was too hungry and ate it right away 😉
A couple more garden photos of my fresh herb supply:
Sage
Rosemary
Going outside to harvest it.
Yesterday's sunset
Of course it’s like 4:30 in the afternoon, still way too early for sunset to my mind, but thankfully days are getting noticeably longer!
Anything to eat in your garden?
