 | It's amazing how the slightest efforts over time can pay off. Or maybe I should say, sometimes. Sometimes they pay off and sometimes the damn chickens get in the garden and scratch up your carrots. Pftttt. Go figure. |
The leaf lettuce blend from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. did very well. Planted in September, we have been foraging in the little patch since mid October pinching leaves and leaving roots intact to keep producing more delicious salad greens.
The broccoli also did quite well....the 2nd attempt. First direct sowing of seed resulted in nothing, nada, goose egg. So these are from young plants purchased at local co-op. Wait. That's a lie. I bought them at Walmart, but "local co-op" sounds sexier. Dontcha think?
And despite much apprehension and chastising from Mom for too much nitrogen and too much foliage, they have FINALLY started to "bloom" the broccoli.
There should be more pictures here. More pics of carrots, cauliflower and collards. But alas they were unearthed and left to die in the sun. The mantra for 2014 will be "Good fences make excellent neighbors and keep the damn chickens where they belong".
