My First Winter Crops

This year is the first year that I have purposely planted crops that are winter crops. I normally wait and do only the spring and summer crops, but now that I have two garden plots at the Arlington Community Garden, I cannot let them sit for months waiting on spring.

In November I put in radishes, carrots, bunching onions, Swiss chard, beets, turnips, and spinach. I harvested the radishes and took them to work for a food day already.

My carrots, bunching onions, Swiss chard, beets and spinach are growing great especially since I started them from seeds and not seedlings.

At the far end of my plot I just planted parsnips and five different types of radishes this past weekend. Can't wait to enjoy them.

I also set up my new plot and put in white onion, broccoli, kale, turnips, cabbage and cauliflower seedlings that I grew in my portable green house.

Excited and cannot wait for them to grow, grow, grow!!
