The garden is growing along wonderfully and this week we harvested some mustard spinach, spinach, and green shallots tops. I made a great dish and used all the garden veggies. The cabbage now have very distinct heads forming and the broccoli have about 1-2 inch sprouts, its so exciting!! The weather has had it’s up’s and downs and DT has water I think 1-2 times this week. The erratic weather is very typical for Southeast Texas.

My gosh, that is soooo awesome! I think next year I will start a small garden. I say that every year but by the time I get ready, I fear it’s too late in the season and give up.
Oh, I left you an award at my place, if you are interested.

Looks wonderful. What I wouldn’t give to have weather like that right now. Right at this very moment it is 22 degrees where I live.

A very lovely garden! Seeing it is making me wish for warm weather-something I don’t think those of us here in the midwest are going to see for awhile.

Wow! That looks awesome. My measly radishes and chives garden pale in comparison.

Your garden looks absolutely beautiful! We had a bad time of it with worms on the cabbage in the beginning. I had to go every morning for over a week and pick them off. But I think that’s over with now. It’s so great to be able to eat from the garden!

It did my heart good to see that garden! I love to garden, but it is winter here in Virginia. 20 degrees and the wind is howling! I think I may just keep your photos up and just stare at them! Your garden looks great! I will certainly come back to see the progress!
Blessings
