My own experiments in winter gardening this year are not going as well, but our winter temps are bottoming out about 28 degrees further down the mercury than yours!<BR/><BR/>But still, I share your amazement -Spinach and mache are still growing, and the pac choi will recover. Simply awe-some.<BR/><BR/>In hopes of spring transplants were begun this morning for more uber tough annuals like those above.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!<BR/>-RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-74844128060779572542008-02-16T18:59:00.000-05:002008-02-16T18:59:00.000-05:00Joanna, I think it really is interesting. In fact,...Joanna, I think it really is interesting. In fact, I find the garden completely fascinating and now that I've been working it closely for a few years I wonder why more people don't garden in the winter, or at least favor cold-weather crops, if not a plastic tunnel in their front yard.<BR/><BR/>Laura, I'm sure your climate in the Northwest is more favorable in winter than ours here in D.C. Try it and give us a report! And thanks so much for including me in your excellence list. You are doing great things at Urban Hennery.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-37947949449676408352008-02-16T12:30:00.000-05:002008-02-16T12:30:00.000-05:00Mike and I were just talking about our excitement ...Mike and I were just talking about our excitement for winter gardening next year. If you can keep all that going on the East Coast, there's no reason we can't manage it here in the temperate PNW.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm passing on the E for Excellent award to you. Keep inspiring us!<BR/>http://urbanhennery.com/2008/02/15/e-is-for-excellent/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-63724870021418712892008-02-16T09:56:00.000-05:002008-02-16T09:56:00.000-05:00SO interesting ..

I'm a fair-weather gardener, downcast by the rabbits and pigeons who wreak the worst havoc in the winter ... but this gives me hope and inspiration in equal measure<BR/><BR/>JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.com
