After 7 degree blizzard conditions Saturday, we are 57 degrees warmer two days later. Checked out the damage to my garden yesterday and found...barely none. Effective immediately I'm no longer telling everyone I'm "fooling" Mother Nature by growing and harvesting lush greens and veges out of season. I believe she and I are working together in tandem all year round. Veges are literally my healthy body. Eat well, stay well. Eat poorly, feel poorly pretty darn quickly.
I believe our future will be coaxing annual, biennial and perennial fruit and vege plants to grow bountiful crops in very adverse conditions for years and years, rather than just being one or a few season wonders.
