What My Winter Garden is Not Doing

Remember back in October when I wrote about planting some lettuce inside to harvest during the winter?  I still haven't harvested any.

The soil in these two boxes is too heavy so not much sprouted.
It's still too small.  I also challenged myself to harvest something every day.  Didn't happen.  I could have taken a little pinch off of one of my herbs each day and counted that but I didn't.

This looks promising.  I could cut a little now if I wanted to.
I still have some plants growing outside.  I'm going to run out there real quick and take an inventory.  Be right back.

Red leaf lettuce.
I have corn salad, radishes, and red lettuce in the hay bed.  Under fabric there is a little spinach, beets, savoy cabbage, kale, and swiss chard.  In the herb garden I have thyme, sage, rosemary, and a bit of parsley.  Surprisingly, the rose in my herb bed still has green leaves.  I have some pansies that are flowering in spite of the colder weather.  I'm going to water them more often so hopefully I will have some flowers to decorate my daughter's birthday cake.

Well, now I'm feeling a little more motivated to brave the cold and tend to my garden.  Maybe next week I'll share some pictures from outside.  Thanks for visiting!
