  1. Thanks so much, Mr. Battle! I am growing a couple of things now. Not as much as i want but stuff is still coming in! Daikons, lettuce, covercropped everything with broadbeans, radish, beets still growing slowly, peashoots, sowed a whole field of those, all kinds of kale and brassicas. Tasty after a frost! That's when i'm starting to eat kale for real. I think it's absolutely vile and inedible before that unless it's really young and tender but you still would need to forcefeed it to me.

    People are looking into the plot baffled at how green it is and what i'm still pulling out. It's half November, what are you still doing here! You know, dinner in an hour? Confused looks. They don't do a lot of homegardening around here, let alone winter gardening. As soon as the first leaf drops, people drop everything and move inside. Not even kidding. Meanwhile i'm stuffing my face with crispy fresh daikons, lettuce and boerenkool. Those watermelon radishes are fantastic, aren't they? Wow! By far my favorite. I need a serious seed pack next year. French breakfast everyone usually names as their favorite, pales in comparison. Japanese/chinese radishes are by far the tastiest.

  2. Thanks Patrick, these are all awesome. Just a note for folks using sands bags. They fall apart fast. I've made covers for my bags from farmtek 90% green screen remnants, the bags will hold stones fine but the sand bag is need to hold soil or fine sand. They also sell a green sock used for erosion control, comes in a tube, cut to length. Just some extra info. Good luck all.!!!
