Thanks for the update. You’ll be chomping on garden produce way before us folks to the north, so we’ll be depending on you and the others in southernly locations to keep our heads filled with visions of sugar plums and carrots, etc.
Whats in the tree ring has been planted in the Fall and a bit protected by some railroad ties stacked about 3 high. I mulch it and cover them up with the cold weather. I’m pleasantly surprised they survived the cold so far even with my coverings. Its probably more of a chore in colder Mo. where you live to keep outdoor greens alive in the cold winter. I lost some asian greens though that weren’t well established but oh well thats what seeds are for. Lettuce doesn’t seem to like transplanting preferring direct sowing to the soil from my experience.
