2009 Garden Season Officially Over

Harvest has now officially ended for the 2009 garden season.  Surprisingly, a few of the brussels sprouts that remained on the plants were still harvestable on December 14th, despite the very cold temperatures that were experienced the few weeks prior.  The remaining older sprouts that remain on the lower portion of the plants will not be harvested.  The fall brussels sprouts harvest was very good this year.  Now the garden sleeps until late February or early March, when the cold frame makes it yearly appearance.  Now is the time to inventory all of the seeds and order new ones that are needed.  It is snowing right now, which makes a nice Christmas feel to the garden.  I would like to wish all of  my readers a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2010.
