Midwinter update

Well, not much of a Winter frankly.  We had a handful of days in the lower 20's in mid-December, but aside for that is has been remarkably mild.

The carrots, lettuce and spinach have been great success.   The beats and brocolli have not done well, but think that is because I planted both too late (mid Sept) and did not thin the beets enough (see previous post on thinning).

Lessons:   (1) Plant Fall crops by mid Aug at the latest  (2) Space them wide enough to avoid thinning.
