| Sunrise in the December edible garden |
Sunday, December 22, 2024
Most think that nothing is alive to eat in a late 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 December in our Zone 6/7 garden? Perennial herbs and vegetables are still green in the garden along with cole crops. Oregano, creeping thyme, mint, parsley, carrots, celery, kale, cabbage, sorrel, chives, miner's lettuce, cultivated dandelions, chard, sprouting broccoli, cauliflower, 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.
