Well, Mom here – filling in until next week. It has been crazy since October, planting and weeding the fall/winter crops (lettuce, kale, spinach, arugula, baby choi, bak choy, mustards, collards, turnips, carrots, beets). We had such a good thing going. Ate what we could. Covered the delicate crops (lettuce, kale, choys, mustards) and things were going great. Then sometime in the middle of November, a big gust of wind blew my plastic cover off my low hoop house during the “freezing” night, and all was gone. I wanted to cry, but as my youngest says, “that's life on the farm, Mom” (sometimes I can't stand it when she stuff like that, but she's right). So on with the holidays, family, friends...

Now I am planning the beds for our early spring crops and summer crops. We're going through seed catalogs and our stored seeds. Next nice weather, it's out in the garden preparing early beds, mulching, staking rows, etc. It seems like just yesterday and all was lost in the garden, and it's time to pick up again. Can't wait.
