December 9, 2015: The garden just days before the first snow

IMAG2811Greenhouse seen from the street

IMAG2807Garlic patch

We have a new method for signalling which plots have been watered: a white cup impaled on a rebar stake indicates the plot has been most recently watered. As new plots are watered, Just move the contraption to newly watered plots. The garlic was going to be next, but with the rain and snow on 12.12, we can wait.

Greens are for the picking in the greenhouse. Be sure to check the earth boxes too.  Scissors are right there on the shelf for easy cutting.  Be sure to recover after you pick.
