Thank you, ladies!
It was a lot of work getting the beds ready, but now it's all joy! The winter crop of cabbage, onions, peas, beets, carrots and beans are coming along. We have a freezing night expected on Sunday, so Im getting out there today to hopefully protect them from the frost and freeze.
I'm using the zip code planting schedule from this site, and although we will be feeling some affects from the Polar Votex freeze that's hitting our country, I'm hoping we'll be able to harvest before the chilly winter really sets in. I'll be taking a close look at our radishes today as I think they might be ready to harvest.
I'm not sure what to expect as its my first winter crop, but like they say: experience is the best teacher.
I have some purple trailing lantana that I'm a bit concerned about. I'm thinking a light bed sheet may be all that's needed to get them through the one night. Here's a photo of my lantana. We had to cage them in at first to keep the cottontails from them at first, but boy, they sure seems to be flourishing!
Have a wonderful day, ladies!
