Because You Can Loose It

Here are some photos of our backyard gardens in November a few years ago.  Back then, we were harvesting all of our remaining pepper plants.  

Our winter vegetable crops are coming along fine: Swiss chard, lettuce, cabbages, onions, garlic, and kale.  

Back then, we must of had some beneficial rain.  The weeds and grass were quite a lush green.  Daytime temperatures were then from 50F to 65F.

-  Rumi
