Winter of 2014 - gardening
#6
Cold crops are doing great. We have made many harvests of salad greens. We've had a couple of harvest of a medley of cooked greens. Garlic is coming off steadily, as we harvest undersized plants and use the entire plant just as we would cloves of mature bulbs. Sweet peas are growing nicely.

Warm weather crops are a different matter. I just replanted corn. Had to move all transplants into the greenhouse last night and will stay there for a couple of days. Here is my post from my favorite gardening gardening forum, helpfulgardener.com.

Calling for lows into the mid to low 30's for the next couple of nights. At this part of the season, moving to the protection of the greenhouse is quite a task.

Phew!

Still am looking for ripe tomatoes by late April or early May!

This is likely the last drop into the 30's. Will plant a few warm weather crops in the next week.
