2007 Gardening Season Winding Down

The 2007 gardening season is coming to a close. Over the last 2 to 3 weeks I have harvested the last of the cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, celery, and brussel sprouts. I still have some carrots in the ground covered by hoop houses. In fact, I harvested some carrots yesterday. It snowed about one week ago and up until 3 days ago there was about 4 inches of snow on the ground. It was also was very cold with a few mornings in the single digits for low temperatures. Most of the snow is now melted. The forecast is for rain over the next few days which is good news because it has been so dry this year. The 2008 seed catalogs have started to arrive in the mail. Now is the time to start planning next year's garden.

I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!
