December Gardening in Texas

December Gardening in Texas
December 18th 2015

Trading snow during the holidays for 60 degree sunny days has its perks. One perk is the second growing season down here in Austin. This is what I pulled from the garden today, mid-december. That's right, these photos were taken a few minutes ago, not a few months ago.


From left to right: dino kale, purple kale, green kale, MY FIRST BROCCOLI, and Kaleidoscope, a kale and brussels sprouts hybrid.

I have some herbs growing out there:


(and some lettuce sprouting in a pot, which the squirrels can't seem to leave alone, so I had to cover with chicken wire).

Here is a shot of the whole garden, in its protective cage:


From left to right: broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, and lettuce seedlings. Yum!
