This is a picture of one box that’s been used for winter. I’ve been harvesting lettuce, carrots, and arugula since late November. Yesterday I was in the process of doing some cleaning up and tugged on a brown top. Out came that carrot. Lots still in the ground, and let me tell you, they’re sweet as sugar! The empty squares you see have been harvested, cleaned out, and have been amended with compost. The other things you might see are not weeds. That’s miners lettuce, and it will start to really grow in the next 2-3 weeks to provide a bounty and tasty addition to my daily salads.

For those interested in having the earliest spring garden possible in the colder climates, I’m having a virtual seed starting class this Saturday at 10:00 AM MST. I had one of these 2 weeks ago with 10 people on. It was a lot of fun. I’ll show you how I’ve done it and what’s been highly successful for me. Don’t wait to have a garden this spring. Decide that you’re going to do it, and then go for it. This class runs 90 minutes and will be highly beneficial. You’ll be ready to plant this week. You can find out more by visiting my Facebook page: the wealthy earth, or you can read about it right over  there on the side of my blog. Spring is getting here quickly.
