Winter veg next to the garlic
The last of the sweet potatoes have been harvested. Amen. Previously the bulk of the winter vegetables were planted. Despite the principles of permaculture, natural farming, amongst others being of great interest, the plants were laid down in bland uniform rows:
- Chinese cabbages
- Brussels sprouts
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Lettuces incl. mizuna
- Spinach
Even with a very limited understanding of the subjects, the understanding of others may be more the trouble if they were to look upon an experiment. Still, there is still plenty of scope to continue keep edging further toward better practice. To try a keep some assortment there’s a few different cultivars and or plant varieties of which I’ve got no idea.

So, it’s basically leafy vegies for the winter, is it. That’s all the home centers are selling, so I guess so. I’ve never done any winter gardening. It’s way too cold where I am from.
I’ve got hakusai, cabbage, and potatoes at the moment. What about asparagus? Doesn’t that get planted from one summer to the next? You’ve got some of that going, don’t you?

Hi Adrian!
As my daughter and her buddies are preparing for Halloween, I wondered if the kids in your neighborhood are doing the same? Will Kento be dressing up and trick-or-treating?

I’ll send you a note James on the asparagus. Get some onions in soon. Think the trick-or-treating wouldn’t go down very well. There’s plenty of Halloween activities to be done beyond that. Lanterns would be nice but wonder how much a giant kabocha would cost.
