Though I don't want to rub it in too much to my Northern friends, I am thrilled to have so much planted and growing in December. I arrived in Houston in October and everything I have planted is something that will grow through the winter months that I traditionally had to spend pining away over seed catalogs while watching snow pile up outside my window. For me, being able to garden year-round is absolutely the best thing about living in the south. Hooray for my first winter garden!
Here's what's planted, either from seed or as starts from
Buchanan's:
- Snap and snow peas
- Admiral peas (for dry/soup peas)
- Fava beans
- Garlic
- Leeks
- Broccoli (two varieties)
- Cabbage (three varieties)
- Kale (two varieties)
- Radishes (two varieties)
- Carrots (three varieties)
- Beets (two varieties)
- Rainbow Chard
- Spinach
- Lettuce
- Artichokes (two varieties)
And here are some of the longer term investments that are in the ground but won't be producing over the winter:
Here are some photos of the plots over the past month.
