Collards Are Cooking



Today I picked the last of the collard greens and my wife is busy cooking them. I am in the process in preparing the soil for the next crop. Since it is late in the season I will plant some leaf lettuce were the collards were. I did throw away the roots and will not put them in to the compost because I could see sign of worms.

  4. baby beets
  5. peas

  7. broccoli

Garden 2008


This is my first post this year about my garden. I planted at the end of April. My goal this year with my garden blog is to do weekly up dates of the garden.
