It's Almost a Wrap!

One would imagine that the Kitchen Garden as well as the Rose Garden would be settling down for a long winter's nap. One would be wrong.

Even though we had frost and a freeze in both October and November, we are now experiencing a period of balmy, Spring-like weather here in the Piedmont of NC. So, my December pictures of the harvest from our gardens are quite unexpected.

Enjoy them while you can. At least that's our approach to this wacky weather!

Raised bed of greens:
7-Top Turnip (left and right); Collards (center)

Raised bed of lettuces; hoops and row covers showing

Ready for my salad:
bibb and red sails lettuces; spinach; and carrots

What is this narcissus doing blooming
in the Rose Garden in December?

Christmas centerpiece: roses, mums, n
arcissus, rosemary, and pineapple sage...
all from our garden!
