Last November I planted some carrot seeds just to see if they would grow throughout the winter. They did! They are not ready to pick yet but I think in about a month or two they will be. You can really tell a difference in the taste of the carrot. My husband was amazed at how good they tasted.
About three weeks ago I planted some seeds in one those seed kits. I have some entire rows that have nothing growing in them. I am not sure when I should move the ones that have grown out into the garden. The weather has been pretty mild here but every so often we do get a night in the 20’s.
Oh Boy, first comment! As one who has had both chickens and gardens I will tell you that the two do not do well together. Of course our chickens had the run of the farm during the day and they found the lure of bare dirt irresistible. Scratch, scratch, peck; scratch, scratch, peck...until nothing was left!

ReplyDeleteThey get to free range in an area away from the garden when we are home. I don't want them going after all my hard work! I do feed them spinich and other lettuces from the garden. And they love smashed bananas!
