Winter crops and STRAWBERRIES

This Saturday we took care of business and got a bunch of things done. Multiple bed were double dug, and prepped for planting, some have been cover cropped, others will be used for the planting of winter vegetables very soon. The winter crops we have already got in the ground are broccoli, cauliflower, leeks, collard greens, and endive. Soon those will be joined by spinach, more lettuce, more chard, mustard greens, garlic, chinese cabbage, brussel sprouts, winter peas, and more. The garden is looking great and what I'm the most excited about from this past weekend was getting our new strawberry bed planted. We planted both Chandler and Quinalt berries and hopefully these new plants will really get established and take off so we can have healthy plants and booming strawberry production come next spring/summer. We will also be building another strawberry bed this winter, so if you didn't get to help out with this first one, not too worry, there will be more strawberryin to come.
