winter food gardening

Hello, it has been a wintery type of day here, cool and cloudy and damp feeling.  

Good gardening weather.   I took my camera with me to the community garden today 

(Crib Point Community Garden)  and did a bit of snapping, there is so much green in winter, and a surprising number of edibles available at the minute, a lot of brassicas and other wintery type things, parsnips, carrots, swedes etc.

Of course, I have to show you what I saw!

 Let's go for a bit of a wander.... (lot's of pictures to follow! sorry!)

 ....spring onions.....

......new carrot tops.....

 ......vivid lettuce....

.....sugar loaf cabbages.....

....garlic shoots......

.........delicate fennel fronds.......

 .......broadbeans just pushing through.....

.......gorgeous colour........

 .......baby fennels.....

 .......broccoli heads

 ....green and more green.....

 ......savoy cabbages....

 .....hot house experiments, spinach in boxes.....

 ....and out of season beans.....

 .....pumpkins of all types, stored away for winter eating........

.....butter swedes and carrots....

.......lovely lavender.....

.........a warm drink after a bit of work..........

......garlics from last year on our high tech drying wall.....

It was a very pleasant way to spend a few hours this morning, and I came home with a nice big bunch of carrots, beetroots and baby turnips.  I must make more effort to go more regularly, I really feel good about what's going on at the garden, it's a great connecting point for our community.

What have you been up to today?
