Twelve months of garden veggies
Even though the daily subzero temps may leave you far from thinking about a garden, our family has been enjoying carrots we dug last week (in February!) and have enjoyed several batches of fresh microgreens (peas, sunflower, arugula).
I had a Yooper friend that has often boasted that she’s been in Lake Superior every month of the year. My boast is that our family enjoys our garden veggies all year round. I usually am text-heavy with pictures to supplement, but this post is going to be vice versa as the veggies are so aesthetic! So grab a bib and enjoy!
January: A full closet of canned goods to last through the winter.
February: Ordering seeds so can begin planting in March.
March: Using dehydrated carrots for winter soup.
April: After moving our climbing spinach (and herbs) inside, we can munch all the way through the winter.
May: First greens of the year!
June: First radishes of the year!
July: A bountiful harvest of beets, beans, greens, cucumbers, peas, and celery.
August: Full color wheel of garden veggies!
September: Peppers! With the first hard frost, it’s essential to pick any veggies that are not frost tolerant.
October: Enjoying beautiful fall colors while canning.
November: After waiting all summer and fall, we finally get to enjoy Brussel sprouts, which actually get better after a few frosts.
December: We’ve continued to enjoy our garden into December with some hardy kale!
