Checking in as we move into winter. I'm leaving everything alone for the remainder of the month as I'm waiting until after the solstice to set new plants and seeds. It very much looks like we're going to keep getting rain this year, such a difference from last year when we had high and dry days even into the 70's through the solstice and into January. We did have those two storms at the beginning of Dec 2014 but the storm door shut with a slam after that. This year I've shut off all irrigation since the beginning of November. Hopefully it can stay off until well into Spring 2016.
In Box 1 we're still getting broccoli florets for the dinner table. They are getting slim but I think we might be able to pull one more harvest before pulling the plants. The remainder of the box is all overgrown now but waiting until I am ready to completely redo the bed before taking everything out.
Box 2 is progressing nicely. I've been diligent about making sure we keep thinning the herds for eating so that this box doesn't overgrow like Box 1 did.
Box 3 will hold the garlic and onions through the spring and into summer for the harvest in July with some pickings for green plants in around March. All of the garlic has come up now. Took a while for many of the plants to do so.
