                  2 parsnips (that's all that germinated!)
                  PSB
                  and will plant some broad beans (aquadulce and hunter) when the weather gets back to normal

                  also got in some winter lettuce bt not sure if it will survive once the temperatures drop

                        This winter I shall mostly be growing lazy.

                        The garden will be mostly growing by itself...hopefully tuscan kale and spring cabbage.
