winter garden's producing ..


i went on a bit of a walkabout this morning .. saw rudolph along the way .. well, at first glance, he made me think of rudolph ..


one stop i made was at the community garden .. i like to wander around and see how things are doing .. i'm a peer-er by nature, and there is always lots to see in this garden .. and, as it is a winter garden there are actually veggies to eat .. so i nibbled a bit .. and then brought some of what i found out to the produce table .. a veritable feast of brassicas .. and spinach ..

as i moved around the beds, i found a lovely red cabbage .. sweet flavour, beautifull colour .. more cabbages are coming, but not ready yet .. this one was the largest .. from there, i wandered over to the brussel sprouts and picked some of them .. cleaned up and steamed, they will be very flavourfull .. and again, there are more coming .. then, i moved to the other end of the garden where the spinach caught my eye .. not many large leaves yet, but these ones are lovely .. last, but not least, the kale called out to me .. i pick the larger outer leaves, leaving the smaller, central leaves time to grow ..

so .. just a reminder .. don't forget to check the produce table from time to time .. you never know when i might be in there peering and picking ..
