The Winter Garden


I made a few additions to the Garden this month.... Added a few complementary herbs such as Basil, Parsley, Tarragon, Garlic Chives, Oregano, Lemon Balm and Thyme. They seem to be enjoying their new home. Which is a good thing.

However, one thing I didn’t take into consideration during the month of December was the very low temperatures and the unusual high winds. Lol. As you can tell by the pick I have a garden cloth semi covering the garden during the day and then at night it is let down and held by the bricks you see at the bottom, and secured to what ever I could grab onto by big office clips. (Funny I have had these big clips for years, and was reluctant to throw them out…. Well I guess I have now found a use for them. =)) I am telling you, covering this garden has become quite the process in the evenings.

The one good thing is that the garden is protected, and as you can tell, there is quite a bit to protect. =) so I am happy to do it.

Till next Log!
