Winter Greens



So I have three things still growing in my garden; spinach, peas and garlic. Obviously you can see my garlic and I have no clue if it is doing anything but the pots are continually shooting green leaves out which are very tasty!! The peas are doing wonderful and I have collected quite a few. However, I have learned that I need to plant a WHOLE lot more of them to have a decent harvest. My spinach on the other hand is coming along, but with all this cold weather we have been having it has been slow to start. I am hoping that when we get to St. Louis I can put in our little sun room and that will help it along as I believe there is still snow on the ground there. I went ahead and started some pie pumpkin seeds as I am afraid that they wont be ready in time for fall pie making.

As you can tell I can not wait for spring, this will be my biggest garden yet. I think I would have been more successful last year had we not moved in the middle of the season. This year there will be no moving not in the middle of summer anyway.

  1. Make sure you don't plant too many things before you move.....Remember your last move! I think your husband might leave you in Georgia if he has too many pots to pick up!

  2. Good luck with your move. I agree with your mom, wait until you get to your new place to do more planting. You will have plenty of time to get things growing and I would hate to see you left in Georgia!
