| Sunrise in the mid-December garden |
Saturday, December 12, 2020
Most think that nothing is alive to eat in a mid December garden. Winter is hard on almost all living green things, but some can out weather even the harshest winter temperatures, especially if given a helping hand.
So, what is still surviving in mid December in our Zone 6/7 garden? Perennial herbs and vegetables will still be green in the garden along with cole crops. Oregano, creeping thyme, thyme, mint, parsley, carrots, celery, kale, cabbage, sorrel, chives, miner's lettuce, cultivated dandelions, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts and onions are all still green without any cover.

Use the fresh greens in salads and herbs in salads, soups or cooked dishes. It is cold outside, but the garden keeps giving.
