Yay! I hope you like it. I just got my copy and started it but I’m trying to hold off to give myself I’m excited to read if the power goes out this weekend! I think you and I are kindred spirits when it comes to books… my very first garden book was On Garden Style by Bunny Williams ☺️
Love this! The things under cover in my garden that are still going despite getting down to 9F degrees are seven top turnips, collards, perpetual spinach (a chard that truly tastes like spinach) and the lettuce variety Devil's Ear in case you want to add to your winter garden next year.
Thank you for sharing!! I've never heard of Devil's Ear, and I'll definitely check it out. I'm hearing rumors we might get down to 1 degree next week... which I've never seen in my life. It will be so interesting to see what survives.
This captured the winter gardening spirit perfectly - love the idea that true gardeners are made when the temperatures drop. Your romaine discovery is genuis though, I'd always written it off as a fair-weather crop. Maybe thats the whole point of winter experimenting you can stumble onto things that totally shift what you thought was possible. Josiah's gahhhh-den sounds adorable btw.
I’d written off pretty much all lettuce as successful in the “cool season,” which is very short where I live. Happy to be wrong! And yes, his gahhhden is so cute. I’ll have to share a picture this spring.
January is a kind of hopeful torture, isn’t it! Loved this, and you’ve given me another book for my wish list (the permaculture one!)
