Garlic and Final Harvest

Well another season is winding down. I didn't have a super amazing garden this year but it still provided us with plenty of fresh produce. The garlic that I planted last fall was harvested, re-planted for next season,  and is currently being eaten. Like all garden fresh veggies, you've got to try it to appreciate the freshness, texture, and flavor.

And what a pepper season! Even though it was late I had a surplus of the sweet and spicy beauties. I've been eating pepper and eggs for a couple weeks straight. Burned the eyes and bronchial passages of my family several times too! (Sorry 'bout that guys.) Below are a couple of photos of the last harvest picked on October 28th just one day before the historical Noreaster that dumped an amazing amount snow in Connecticut and the northeast.

Spring Is Slowwwly Getting Sarted

Well almost 30 days into Spring and its finally showing some more positive signs of being here after many days not getting out of the 40's.

 In the vegetable department I have some parsley that wintered over and the Fall planted Garlic is up and looks beautiful.

I got a late start but in the greenhouse I have a bed of mixed lettuce sowed. Inside on the heat mat and under the lights I sowed a few varieties each of tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers.

Outside, the rose bushes are getting trimmed up and the man eating wisteria is cut back. Tulips are up and looking good. Daffodils are in bloom now and bringing some brightness into the neutral colored landscape.
