Winter raised bed garden update - January 8th, 2012

The winter raised garden is looking really great after just over a month since being planted. I have to say I don't see any pest damage and that very well could be due to the diatomaceous earth that I added as a top dressing. The broccoli and cauliflower are starting to show and I can't wait to watch them get even bigger!

your winter garden looks great, can you garden all year round in arizona ?

@bbsmith45 thanks :) and yeah we can garden all year here. If you want to grow things like tom.'s and peppers etc. you'll just have to cover them in the winter. It's been fun so far now that I'm getting to know of what works in my area and when. This is my second year of gardening. Take care!

It is looking very nice. I love brocolli. And I treat cabbages as ornamentals. They get big and pretty.

@Thagirion9 thank you! Brocolli is soo good isn't it. This is the second time for me growing brocolli and the first for cabbage. I've been getting into making sauerkraut and plan to use them for that...can't wait :)

Your garden looks great! what has your weather been like there?..also if you have not already made one can you make a video on how you make your compost tea.

@Thesmalltowngardener Thanks a lot! I think I have one on here somewhere, but it's always fun to do another. I actually have a new way to aerate the tea that I have yet to see anyone else do :) Thanks for the reminder and thanks for watching :)
