Winer Garden Recap

The best result of our winter growing season was Elijah James, harvested in early spring, April 6th, 2010 we'll get to watch him grow along with our garden this year!

Well, for our winter garden recap, our best crops turned out to be, snow peas, celery, red/yellow kale and parsley.

We had a few meals with the broccoli we planted, this again is a vegetable you need a lot of space for so that you can plant quite a few if you're going to eat it as much as we do!

We also had a few carrots, soil is key here, my next planting of carrots will happen in a very loose soil area of the garden.

We weren't able to harvest any onions until almost March - however we loved the way the onions looked when they went to seed, and how they add a lot of interest to a Spring Garden when all of your plants are just sprouting up.

The snow peas were the best, I planted 8 seedlings and we harvested enough snow peas for a half a dozen meals of Pad Thai, used them as side dishes with our favorite meat/chicken/fish entrees, and even added them to some soups. The snow peas were quite prolific and so tasty! Definitely a repeat for next year.
