We have different "intensities" of seasons than you but there are things that can grow all times of the year. <br /><br />We're excited about the garlic it will be May(ish) when we harvest. Fingers crossed!!<br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-39635633343073669792017-03-08T10:30:41.562-06:002017-03-08T10:30:41.562-06:00Hi 1st Man :) Your steak looks SO YUMMY!!!!

This year is going to be my first major garden (in containers since I'm renting) and most of my plans are for a traditional summer garden, but I've been reading a book on 4 season gardening and I'm interested in that as well.Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-6959223729184879952017-03-06T23:22:02.166-06:002017-03-06T23:22:02.166-06:00Can't go wrong with meat and taters, right?

What variety did you plant and when did you plant them? I think I may try growing them. <br />That supper you came home to - mmm! 2nd Man was spot on again! <br /><br />For supper tonight, I had a wilted-lettuce salad (a few pieces of bacon with sautéed shallots poured over lettuce) and my last head of broccoli.
