| French Breakfast Radishes |
Most of us had not been in the garden for several weeks over the holidays so we didn’t really know what to expect when we returned. What we found was a thriving cornucopia of greens and other winter vegetables.
Some of the green was furnished by the weeds that had sprouted up in vacant areas while we were gone, so everyone got busy.
We harvested different kinds of radishes, tat soi, and mustard; and pruning the Bay Laurel bush produced lots of bay leaves for drying.
It was great to be back in the garden.

| We think this is mustard, but it’s forming a head |
 |
| Communal weeding is much more fun. We will be planting blueberries here |
 |
| The Chayote is so sneaky. Last year’s cold really knocked it back. Peggy thought it produced no fruit. Winter die-back revealed one very large chayote in an adjoining tree |

| Linda’s lettuce and tat soi looks great |
 |
| Nancy harvested most of the C bed radishes |
 |
| Collards, of course |
 |
| Mixed winter cover crop. It’s a good time to cut and drop cover crops so they can decompose before spring planting. |
