In My Garden - January 2008

garden diagram january

Not much happening right now. The carrots are maturing quickly, one garlic sprouted, and the peas are nearly finished. In the largest bed, I've heeled in a blue daisy that I'm not sure whether it's a perennial or annual, a salvia with the same mystery, and our catnip plant.

I just realized today that the sun, being much lower in the sky in the winter than the summer, doesn't shine on the Southernmost beds (the top 2 in the picture) because it is blocked by our fence. I hope the onions that we planted will get enough sun since I hear they're kind of picky about daylight requirements.
