House Garden Designs: November 2009

Winter Garden: A month ago I purchased a grow light ... I now have lettuce plants growing inside ... the only garden plant I miss in the winter. Will post pics and let you know how it works out.

Maybe a first freeze

It's quite late for a first freeze, but one is predicted for Friday night (Dec. 4). Our 'average' (prior to global climate change) is Oct. 15.

I'm not complaining, really, as we've had extended fall color, and the lettuce, kale, collards, mustards, and arugula are thriving. But it is a bit unsettling.

We left for winter travels in early December a couple of years ago without a freeze, too.

I've put flats of greens in a open cold frame (not very beneficial), but they'll need water while we're gone -- it'll be interesting to see what's survived, when we return from this year's winter travels.

The garlic that I recently planted has already started to emerge, with fresh green leaves. As I finish using the rest of last year's garlic, it's nice to look forward to the new harvest.

Sunshine !

Not a drop of rain today but it was brrr cold with the wind blowing directly down from the North Pole. It was so good to see the sun today that I took some pictures at lunchtime.

Looking across to the junior school.

There are still plenty of flowers around the school,

and down in the Secret Garden.

Hopefully the bug houses will provide winter shelter for ladybirds and solitary bees.

It was play rehearsal again today and we are getting all the costumes ready for Friday's dress rehearsal. At the moment most of my class are in school though the tedium of sitting through the rehearsal produces a lot of headaches and tummy aches which all get miraculously better when it is time to go out to play. It will be another late day tomorrow as we help set up the Christmas Fayre which will take place on Wednesday. I'd better get off and have an early-ish night.
