Have to say, I plante lettuce in pots for winter this year, and it's been absolutely delicious having fresh lettuce. I need to get some heritage tomatoes so I'll have it next winter.

Now, if only we'd stop getting so much rain, so I could get the garden tilled up and re-rowed, and prepped.

Fresh veggies this year, yum!

Very nice! I'm fortunate where I live I can grow year round. I finished up the last of my fingerling potatoes, so I filled that spot with lettuce while it's still in the 50's-70's. I'm getting ready for my summer plantings of peppers-chille, bell. I planted raddish two weeks ago, and the rain+ warmer weather has done them good.
I'll pray that your rain makes it my way, take caresmokin

Yeah, you're farther south then Dallas area aren't you? We are going into freezing temps again, though the greenhouse is helping with the herbs, and veggies.

Sounds like you're having fun. I want the rows ready to go, but will get started with the veggies in the greenhosue.

The "manure corral" went up at Walmart a few weeks ago. That always makes look forward to the upcoming season of planting and growing things. A few days ago I saw the first flats of primroses and pansies at another store...
I'm sure we'll get some more freezing weather, but the days are very promising! Spring is on the way!
