Happy Sunday Evening! Hope you've had a lovely weekend!
They say it’s going to be a really cold and snowy winter here in the Southeast. The first third of December seems to be proving the forecast. Our first snow in North Carolina rolled in on Friday, and we still have an inch of snow on the ground.
We have delicious kale, chard, bok choy, collards, and spinach growing under heavy frost covers.
Here’s a shot of our old tomato bed covered with a mini arch of frost fabric, there’s mizuma, arugula, and lots of broccoli.

As we are about to turn the corner into a new year, the seed catalogues are arriving with all the glorious depictions of amazing flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

And there’s a little box at the end for notes. This is where we post our ratings and obtain the guidance as to what will be in the next season’s garden.

We do not gain any compensation from recommending The Garden Planner other than the keen satisfaction of sharing an amazing planning and tracking tool that really does do a fantastic job.
Cheers and happy garden ventures!
