Hi All, I've missed you! Wow, it's been awhile since I last posted! I have had a very sick brother-in-law, but he is starting to get better now. I am moving this month too, so I'll be back in April. Hopefully, the garden will be ready to plant soon!

| New Red Fire Lettuce Seed Jan 04, 2013 | ||

I saved seed from my fall crop of 'New Red Fire' lettuce. Last night I separated the seed from the stalks and cleaned them. They are ready for planting in early spring. I think I will start a few seeds inside today to grow in my kitchen greenhouse window right now. | |

| Such a pretty colored lettuce! There are so many different kinds of lettuce to choose from.....it's hard to just pick a few varieties for the garden. I'm getting anxious for spring planting. |

| I have managed to shell 2 pounds worth of walnuts and hope to get alot more done before the New Year. Shelling/cracking walnuts is a great movie pastime... Well, I think so, not too sure about the kids. :):) |

| I'm completely fascinated with fermenting - I just wish I could acquire a taste for sauerkraut, lol. My brother has gotten to be quite an expert fermenter, so I just live vicariously through him :) |

| That was a heatwave! Right now it is 56 here at 5;43, which makes me VERY happy. |


I redesigned my vegetable garden last year at Franklin Park Community Garden with the Vegetable Garden Planner on Mother Earth News. I am implementing the full plan this season and it will be a lot easier to tend and maintain with this new plan. I grow lots of organic heirloom vegetables and edible flowers in my garden and it produces most of the vegetables and some of the fruit I eat for the entire year.
