Our Winter Garden Survived!

We planted our winter garden in October. It is the first time we’ve attempted a winter garden, but that was the advantage to MrLivingOurWay being at home. We would have more time for projects such as a winter garden. We planted broccoli and cabbage collards. The FindingOurWays actually planted the broccoli themselves. The garden was planted and we were very busy so not as much attention was paid to the garden as we would have liked. There were lots of times when MrLivingOurWay said “Well, I guess we can give up on the broccoli and the collards.” Then he would change his mind and say “It looks like the broccoli and collards might be coming back. Let’s leave it in there and see what it does.” We are not currently using cold frames or anything to protect from the frost though it has been discussed.


The other day, the FindingOurWays came in with the above cabbage collards. They were cooked up for lunch with butter and salt and they were pretty good. This is coming from a woman who really doesn’t care much for collards. It does appear that the broccoli will be harvested next.
