My floating garden is most productive in summer, but it still provides me with fresh veggies in winter.I've put most of my garden to bed to let it rest, but I leave crops in the ground that I know can survive freezing temperatures and occasional snow.
Earlier this week I went out to pick some things for dinner. I dug carrots and beets that were still crisp and juicy. Then I picked curly kale and Brussels sprouts. This is the first year I've grown sprouts and they're a success. I even found one onion that was missed during the fall.
With my pickings I made some fresh pickled beets, and a winter garden slaw for dinner.
I grated carrots, diced onion, cut sprouts in half, and chopped enough curly kale to fill the bowl. I like to use poppyseed dressing for my slaw. It's easy and gives the veggies a nice fresh tang.
Do you grow any winter vegetables in your garden? What works for you? -- Margy
You can grow brussel sprouts in a pot? I might try that this year. Hubby loves them, me not so much but could grow them for him.
ReplyDeleteActually, the sprouts grown in my floating garden. But I don't see why they wouldn't work in a large part as long as you give them enough space. The leaves get quite large. - Margy
DeleteDoesn't look like winter to me! Can't grow much under 18" of snow! But our daughter in Abbotsford reports green grass.
ReplyDeleteThis was before all the snow in February. - Margy
