Week thirty eight in the garden

A while back, Daddy was thinking about how a California winter can be full of sunny days and perfect for growing food. So we planted our winter garden not knowing if it would even grow.

So when this weekend brought the first frost of the year we quickly threw up the plastic on our new home made green house.  We are hoping to grow lettuce, romaine, spinach, cabbage, radish, and bok choy into the new year. 

I had to take a peak this morning to make sure things were ok in there.

It was so sunny and warm inside when it was sunny and cold outside. That's what I call mission accomplished.  

Did you know...

...that California is having the warmest winter, ever? Ok, maybe not ever but it's unusually warm. Last year there was about 150 inches of snow. This year there is less than five inches. What is going on? I've been waiting and waiting for the snow. Since it's not coming, I'm going to nap and Mommy's nap and dream of running through the snow.

Harvest Monday

Today was a very exciting day in our home. We harvested our very first cucumber of the season. I mean it's only August after all. We hope to harvest a few more before First Frost hits northern California. We'll keep our paws crossed but Daddy says there's no telling what the weather will bring. Daddy thinks we'll have summer weather for a while before First Frost hits. You know I'm hoping for just the opposite.
