First Winter

So, since I've started the beginnings of a garden, I'm experiencing my first winter. When I started this garden, I knew it was going to be tough because of the winter. But, I also knew it was possible because I live in California. The winters are short lived.

I planted my garden with high hopes and have lost several pods from one factor or another. However, I have a good handful of plants that have held on. I even have the cutest garlic garden growing with no problems. Here is an update of my plants that have held on...

The "Cheater" Broccoli is doing great.

I'm so proud of my cauliflower! Completely grown on my own!

I have 4 Jalapeno plants holding on...2 for dear life. lol


I have some Peppers from a Hot Pepper Mix also holding on.


Tomatoes and Pot of Gold Bell Peppers are still kicking!


Wow, so wimpy. I should of transplanted a long time ago. :(


I have a small garlic garden. So far, so good.

I can't believe all of these plants are doing so well. Since I'm experimenting...I'm really surprised at how well they are doing in this cold weather. I thought they would all turn brown and wither away because of the low 40's weather we've been experimenting. But, they are all still green and alive. Cool.

Winter Wishes,
