A miniature forest of salad greens. Chittering songbirds cleaning the remaining bugs off my Lacinato kale trees. Delightful late-blooming flowers. Seedlings protected for winter growth. This is my garden at Thanksgiving.
Mixed salad greens, including arugula, bok choi, tatsoi, lettuce and Asian mustards are flourishing in this bed, and getting mowed down regularly for salads.
Sparrows, black-capped chickadees and a rosy finch (obscured, center) gather for a meal of bugs on my Lacinato/palm tree kale.
I’m experimenting with winter growth of a cabbage under cover inside this giant water bottle. There’s another one uncovered right next to it.
A purple sprouting broccoli and some winter radishes grow in front of a fleece-covered tunnel containing spinach.
Lacinato/palm tree kale plants grow against a bamboo trellis which held up cherry tomato plants last summer.
A pot of spinach covered in garden fleece sits in front of an espaliered Akane apple tree that still has its leaves.
