Early December in the Garden

I got a bit done in the garden over the weekend, as the temps on Saturday were pretty pleasant.  We'd had a tiny bit of rain Friday evening, though not enough to really do much.  I checked on the garden square I've been keeping sheltered under plastic.  The peas are struggling, but the parsley seems to be doing fairly well. I clipped a handful of it for the bunnies, who were delighted to munch on that in addition to their lettuce.

In the next raised square, I had set up a wind break on the north side.  The lettuce there is still not completely gone, though the cold nights have been hard on it.  But I am still able to harvest a few leaves along on most mornings for the bunnies, as well as carrot tops.

I also opened the greenhouse up for a bit to air out, and watered the plants inside.  Since it is only a single layer of plastic, and unheated, the plants inside are not kept that much warmer than outside, but it does make a difference.  The parsley, mint, and strawberries are doing best at this point.  The lettuce I'd planted in one large pot has shown no signs of growth yet. I watered everything, and sealed the greenhouse door back up before dark.
