I can really identify with your feelings on gardening as the seasons change. It suits me best to plant and harvest heavily through the summer and early fall and then take the winter off. The break helps to build up my enthusiasm in time for the following year.Monica https://www.blogger.com/profile/09434370272889356134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-26067866176497957122012-01-17T22:50:46.465-05:002012-01-17T22:50:46.465-05:00you're very inspiring!!

I'm very, very lucky, though, to have farmers to fuss with it and then I buy the greens from them at market :)Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-42109488469552347772012-01-17T21:24:20.660-05:002012-01-17T21:24:20.660-05:00I am harvesting lots of kale from a small area.

Also some green onions and lettuce, but learned a lesson this year that planting in a more shady spot means the lettuce doesn't survive the winter nearly as well! The parsley and cilantro grow beautifully all the way through.The Turner'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773762637947488880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-73814590805300020732012-01-17T08:18:17.195-05:002012-01-17T08:18:17.195-05:00We enjoyed some fresh spinach along with lots of f...We enjoyed some fresh spinach along with lots of fresh parsley and a spring onion that decided to grow on its own!! What a treat! I have red beets still good in the garden that I am waiting to pull but should before they freeze for good! I just enjoy knowing they are out there to eat!!Regina R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-24776847422521872332012-01-17T07:58:51.053-05:002012-01-17T07:58:51.053-05:00Grannie M-

Did you leave space between your double layers of row cover? I am in zone 4b-5a and am hoping to try some fall/winter gardening next winter. I also went back and read your earlier blog on row covers and insect barriers. The insect barrier sounds like a definite for me because I also do not like to use insecticide sprays on my garden and want to try cabbage, kale, and maybe broccoli this year.Grannie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809173900277964485noreply@blogger.com
