Winter Gardening

No picture for this one as, as Mark so nicely noted "its just dirt," but I've finally replanted the dirt in my backyard. My approach this time was to just put as much of everything as I had in the ground because I can thin things out later if that becomes a problem. Finally I can stop telling people I'm going to plant this weekend. Don't get me wrong about the time of year either. I don't have high hopes for getting started this late but I figured, I had all the stuff so I minaswell give it a shot. So, today I planted:

  • kale
  • garlic
  • brussle sprouts
  • small yellow tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • parsnips
  • carrots
  • acorn squash
  • and basil

I've also still got the jalapenos, eggplant, fig and lemon trees and the pumpkins going as well as some herbs (chives, dill, rosemary, mint, thyme).

Oh man, I just realized I probably planted the garlic wrong..... think it will hold in the ground for a few days till I dig it back up?

I'm baffled by this concept of gardening in the winter--sounds good though...I hope your fig tree grows!
