Test of a good gardener.

I always try to grow  vegetables in the winter. This is the test of a good gardener.  Having food from the garden in the darkest time of the year.

Having an abundance of vegetables either stored or straight out of the ground, this includes the ‘hungrey gap’ from april till june.

Not much grows in winter, but a well-organised plan may nonetheless  fill up your plot. You need to plan carefully, and well ahead (as early as spring) for sowing and planting at specific times through the year. Read this blog to learn the secrets, which will be explained thoughout the coming winter 

Frist frost last night here in Oxford.
