Winter Garden

[Jogeephus]

I'm not fertilizing. Completely organic. Its been dry till now. Sprouts are small but big enough to pick a few. Average is about the size of a piece of bubblegum.

I still use the old school 10-10-10 I don't have enough organic matter to use in my gardening. It has been fairly wet and rained atleast once a week since they were planted so thats my guess. How long have yours been planted?

I'm not against conventional fertilizer I just have about 32 tons of cow manure in the garden and didn't want to burn it. Rain is probably the difference.

Skyhightree, we are roughly 100 miles east of Seattle, at the bottom of the Cascades. I'd love to trade veggies for snow and crappy roads, but don't think that would probably work very well with shipping. We are just really getting into snow season here; first dump was before Thanksgiving. We are not far off I-90 - 5 people killed on the roads here last week.

eww.. sorry to hear that... The snow would give my garden a good soaking I honestly don't think it would hurt anything as long as it didnt stay on the veggies for a long time... we have had some really heavy frosts and they seemed to like it. I love snow we rarely get any here anymore.
