President’s Day is too late to plant in Austin as well as Valentine’s day is the last best day to plant. Some people put them in in late January. I am harvesting my leeks right now as well as really enjoying frying them up with potatoes . We are still eating brocolli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, red as well as green cabbage, spinach, collards, kale, lettuce, beets,  carrots,  rutabaga , spinach, turnips as well as herbs-cilantro, parsley as well as dill- from the Fall garden. However the rutabaga as well as cauliflower are now all harvested. I went to Carol Ann Sayle’s Boggy Creek Farm talk last Friday as well as learned that water can split the cabbages. As we got rain I guess that did it. I thought it was rats as well as was happy to know that it wasn’t. Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:07:54 -0500 stephargaret060
