I had a nice little harvest last weekend. More salad greens, some garlic (which will need to cure for a while), plenty of herbs, and two baby beets. This year I planted a variety called Cylindra, which is a long skinny red beet. I figured that would be a good space-saver. (I also planted golden [...]

The (Almost) Year-Round Kitchen Garden

I went out to my garden plot yesterday, thinking that maybe the snow would have finally melted enough for me to plant some sprouting potatoes. I also thought I might be able to pull up some overwintered carrots. Unfortunately, this is what I saw: I was able to clear away enough snow to sow [...]
