Winter Prep, Week 1

Well, kids and I have been working hard in the garden every day this week. Taking dead plants out of garden beds, moving the potato patch to a new spot; harvesting potatoes, lemon cukes, figs, tomatoes, herbs…

And of course a whole lot of weeding!

The kids have been great helpers, but my body is sore and ready for a rest! Thank you, Lord for bringing us the weekly Shabbat, so that we may rest from our labor and be refreshed by your goodness!

Got one whole side of the garden done far as weeding and cleaning up, will be adding some compost to a couple beds and the inground section in the next day or two. And we cleaned up the flower beds along the back fence and the herb garden area.

This coming week we’ll be weeding and cleaning up the beds on the other side of the garden, and finalize prepping for overwintering some plants, harvest more herbs, and top up garden beds at that end with fresh compost and top soil.

Well, That Was A Lot Of Work…

We’ve been working hard in the garden while the weather was nice.

Even though people refer to this warm snap as a “false spring,” we have lots of flowers and birds returning from their winter vacations, even the Robin’s are back!

So, we decided to get the garden prepped and get some seeds going for root Veggies and cold weather crops and we’ll just wait and see what happens!

I don’t generally recommend people plant in February unless it’s potatoes, garlic, ginger, root Veggies like that. But this is an experiment, so we’re starting from seed some root veggies and lettuces and chard. Like I said, we’ll see what happens!

Hows your garden planning? Are you trying anything new for plants or techniques? Do you aim for more organic renewable methods or mainstream commercial style gardening? There’s no right or wrong here, just share a bit with us about your gardening style!
