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*.
I’ve found that when I want something done around here it’s really important to:
a. Make him think it’s HIS idea...
b. Stand back and stay out of the way!
LOL! :)
