Winter farming. Even after a week’s worth of freezing temps, the leaves of these broccoli plants look primo, even without broccoli florets. Note the lighter green field peas planted as a cover crop around them. They are making the soil healthier for next year’s spring crops. Next photo: notice the green crimson clover cover crop growing in this garden. It's nourishing the soil where I’ll be planting sugar peas come Valentine’s Day. The clover has gone dormant for the winter, but the microorganisms living in the soil beneath the plants are thriving on the elements provided by the decaying and dormant cover crops. So glad I have chickens living in my backyard -- caring for them gives me a reason to check my garden beds even when it’s freezing outside. #urbanfarming #backyardgardening #chickens #raisedbeds
Constructing pans of lasagna for 500. Bottom layer is a seasoned tomato sauce, then a lasagna sheet and more tomato sauce, followed by ricotta and egg filling, then mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat layers. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil and cook 15 minutes more. #lasagnafor500 #growcookshare #easypeasy
Got Ducks? Kelly’s recipe for Duck Stew is amazing. Link in profile. #duckstew #duckseason
Winter Vegetable Gardening: kale, broccoli, collards, rapini, carrots, garlic, parsley, rosemary, sage, oregano, and cover crops of crimson clover and field peas, all still going strong. #backyardfarming #urbanfarming #winterfarming
