Planning for the Spring

It's almost been two months since my last update. The Christmas snow and cold spell killed off our tender lettuces and some of our fall broccoli, but everything else survived nicely. We've had a great supply for our salads and some roots for our stews. And, we've been planning...

This is Mike's plan for our raised beds. We'll probably still tweak it slightly. It's actually pretty hard to plan the layout of the plants when you are four season gardening. You have to pay attention not only to the growing habit, but also the time until harvest to make sure that you'll be able to fill in the spot before winter. I'm excited about keeping the peppers and watermelons under the cloche all summer, they'll love the extra heat and I have high hopes!
