Re: A Temperate-climate Garden in Winter (4.00 / 2)

Our garden is due to be expanded into the (useless) grassy area next spring, due to overwhelming success as a vegetable producer this past summer. My grape vines are taking over the yard beyond their allocated space and will have to be chopped back this winter. I may go out and do some major pruning this weekend, depending on how cold it is; this morning it was below zero (F).

As an indoor project, I'm going to try to germinate some coffee beans, although we keep our house so cold during the day that I doubt that the experiment will work. It's pretty pathetic when you have to have a greenhouse indoors!

The garden shown in the diary (none / 1)

used to be the back-yard, when our young-uns were young-uns. Over the years I've cut back all lawn around the place, until there is only about 10 minutes' worth of mowing.
