The cold frame. From the left, broccoli, cabbages, celery, and wild garlic. From the right, 2 rows of carrots. The pot has regular onions that I'm going to put out as sets later.

This is the big garden after I tilled the area on the right this morning. I've already covered up some of the trouble spots toward the fence, to kill off some weeds/grass that didn't get killed earlier.

On the left side at the far end are what are left of the pepper plants. They will be well and truly dead by Wed, so they will go in the compost pile.

I'm going to go no-till on the left side of the garden this year. That's pretty much how it will look this spring when I start transplanting stuff out of the house/cold frame after Easter.

You have so much room and I have so little. I really have to think about what to grow in containers to make the best dent on having fresh food to eat if there is no food in stores. I’m going to get many more grocery store bags of various beans with the soup seasoning in the package. I would eat those first and I’ve got gobs of beans professionally packed without oxygen in #10 cans. I have boxes of instant rice from the grocery to use first and a bunch in #10 cans without oxygen.

I want fresh food out of my container garden and that is going to happen because I’m not giving up.

You said one time that your Walking Onions looked much better than mine - well, looking at your scrawny carrots, my carrots are tall and beautiful and my tall, beautiful turnips would make your mouth water - so, there.

AND, I grew those carrots and turnips FROM SEED. Me, I did that.
