Winter Garden

The winter garden got planted last weekend. This time I tried making the garden with rows and a furrow, then ran a soaker hose down it. Soooooo much easier than trying to connect a bunch of little dripper things, and a 50' section of soaker hose is only seven bucks or so.




We planted some seedlings form the nursery (brocoli and some carrots, and peas) and are trying lettuce, turnips, carrots, beets, and radishes from seeds. No need to write down what is planted where. Heck, there are only four rows with seeds.



And here are the first seedlings popping up. I wonder what kind of vegetable they are. I seem to have, uh, forgot what is where. Makes it so much more interesting really.

Oh, and yes, the ground really is that grey. Clay soil. And that is what it looks like after 8 years of having composting and soil amendments roto-tilled back into it. In it's natural state I think it's called adobe.
