oh I am very jealous !! Everything I had left is frozen dead. We don’t usually get down to 10 in East Texas… Upper 20′s yes, but below that ? Rarely !!

Faith–Garlic will do that, it’s normal. It will just keep on going until summer.
I’ve never grown brussels sprouts. I might try some this fall, though. I’m looking forward to spring, too. The seeds have been ordered . . .

Carla–I will. So far they look sad but alive. Time will tell.

Betty–I mixed them with collards and ate them myself! Not too bad. The chickens got the tough part of the stalks. I feel for you in Florida. It isn’t supposed to get this cold down there!

mf–I was hoping some good would come out of this miserable week.
Nope, not Tomato Girl of TBC. Is that a nursery?
I bet Ivory knows the photographer–she has had her mug in the paper a couple of times.
I’m super impressed by your greenhouse system. I wish I had done something like that. We are missing our lettuce/salad greens like nobody’s business. Next winter?
I’m going to check out your toms. Tomato season can’t come soon enough, and thinking about tomatoes is going to have to do for now. I won’t take your seeds until I can prove to myself I can successfully raise sturdy little plants from seed NOT accidentally in my compost pile. Once I crack the code I will take you up on your offer.

Looks beautiful! We did the same with our tomatoes. They are currently ripening on the counter. By the way, your chickens would love those broccoli greens. After we harvest the head and the extra shoots, I cut off the greens for the chickens. They love them!! Enjoy the harvest and stay warm!

Now, why didn’t I think of a boquet like that? Love it!! You are too funny.

I am so excited – just went to look at a FREE greenhouse today and it is MINE!! SCORE!! Going to take some doing to dismantle but, hey, it was the right price! Maybe next year I too will have veges in January! That is a feat in NW Ohio!

To Emily – OMG that is too too funny!

To Kat – I’m with you there – my crops are a distant memory buried under the snow drifts!
