This is the first time I've watered my Missouri garden at Christmas time. I don't want what's still growing - which is a lot of things - to die by wilting (it was very dry all fall, and still is), because I'm afraid even the perennials won't come back if that happens.
I'm still harvesting cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, arugula, tatsoi, celery and broccoli.
The weather forecast for January looks more like normal, so I hope things can go ahead and shut down.
The maché (corn salad - Valeriana) I planted mid-July is still teeny. Large enough to see now! Surely it's not getting something it needs. They wouldn't be offering seed as a food crop if it doesn't get any bigger than this. Would they?
Happy holidays!
