Glad you’re having so much success!

I’m planning a large salad garden for spring. Normally I just grow lettuces, but I’m going to add spinach, radishes, baby carrots, spring onions, pok choi and a few other greens I can’t think of right now.

The area where I normally grown annual herbs and edible flowers will be salad fixin’s first, then the herbs & flowers, with more salad stuff when fall rolls around again.

I’m getting excited! :)

Chinese cabbage (michilihi(sp?)) worked out great too. It was wonderful in stir fry and made a really neat salad green also. I’d never tried a fall/winter garden here before and we really loved it. So many ideas for next year too. Might even give the petulant Romanesco broccoflower stuff a try. We had fresh veggies till the first weekend of Jan this year in 8a. Now I’m hoping the garden fairies will find a greenhouse for me.

Hubby got my plant lights set up in the garage yesterday afternoon so I’m set to start little peppers and tomatoes next weekend. He’s as big a pepper fiend as I am a tomato fiend. I’ve promised him, barring weather events beyond my control (hurricane, insane drought/heat), that I’ll put up as many pint jars of jalapeno and cayenne slices as I can fit in the pantry. He’s thinking about new shelving in there to make more room now *chortle*.
