Fall Garden

Yesterday, we embarked on another garden "first" - the fall/winter garden. It's still hard to wrap my Minnesota brain around the fact that green things can grow during the winter, but I'm prepared to give it a shot.

I pulled most of our now-raggedy tomatoes (many of them volunteers from last year) to make room for the fall/winter crop. Our SunGold has seen better days, but that thing refuses to die so I couldn't rip it out. As per usual, I went a little overboard at our friendly, local garden store.

Romaine & red leaf lettuce, spinach, collards & carrots - oh my!

We'd still like to plant some garlic & onions, but will have to wait until the rest of the summer crop fades. I'm double-pumped! Now if I can just make them grow ...
