Winter Garden Produce

The array of colours, forms and textures created by companion gardening is evident in this photograph of beet leafs emerging from carrot fronds, neighboured by leeks.

Winter Garden Produce

While this is mid-winter, and the weather is appropriately cold, that does not mean the garden is bare; indeed some plants thrive better in winter for being left alone by pests. There was a sharp frost on this morning, 27 December, so I took some pictures. On the left you can see the frost on a leek, seeds from Britain. Of course, because of the companion planting, the leek is not sitting in the middle of a row of leeks, but is surrounded by carrots, garlic, and other vegetables not seen.
