Merry Christmas from the South

Here is a quick snapshot of the garden this Christmas season. The picture is an infrared image made from my recently converted IR 30D from lifepixel.

The onions just went down, all 700 of them. 1015's, Southern Bell Red, Yellow Granex, Bermuda, Candy Apple Red, Candy, and Big daddy. All were from dixondale farms a local Texas distributor.

There is enough lettuce, spinach, and boc choi to eat a salad on most days, just about all you could ask for. Boc Choi is a recent discovery for the two of us and it has completely revolutionized the way we think about garden to table meal prep. We try to put it in just about anything that will take lettuce or spinach. It grows quickly, and doesn't get overly bitter as the leaves age.

You can also see the cabbage and brassicas in the background.

Not to thumb my nose at all you northern gardeners, but it's nice to do this all year, with a different palate each season to work with.

We just recently purchased a kitchen scale, so please look forward to a running tally on garden production.
