It's January in the garden! Fortunately, I still get to keep a watchful eye on things from the office window.
This has been a winter to remember. A welcome break from blizzards and frigid temps has allowed for a little "settling" of the snowpack. You can once again just begin to make out the 2' rabbit fence outlining the back planting areas.
No matter. Eight hundred sixty some garlics are presumably snug as can be under their cover of mulch and snow, just hibernating until spring comes. We garlic-lovers sure hope they're happy out there!
Potatoes are ordered -- Purple Viking and Kennebec. And the annual seed review is slated for this coming weekend. Although I saved a lot of heirloom tomato seeds last fall (plus a few other goodies), it just wouldn't be January without a seed order! Squash, beans, cukes, beets, and maybe some fresh greens.
What else do you think sounds good?
