Ecological Gardening and Other Creative Pursuits
February: Nature decides to have one last fling with Winter. The days get longer, the winds blow stronger. Rain, snow, pockets of sun, 50 shades of gray. Hawks, doves, opossums, and the promise of spring! It’s crazy out there!
Mid-February and the garlic is UP! Tallest in the patch is the Chinese Pink, a Turban variety, but all varieties are making a showing. These hardy little bulbs can handle the rough weather ahead. Just be careful with the mulch!
February is a weird month – we get a little bit of everything in the weather department. We do a lot of fantasizing through seed catalogs and are anxious to get our hands back in the dirt. When the winter blues & blahs get you down, our latest kale recipe, “Death by Garlic, Revived by Kale,” is sure to bring you around.
