'WInter' gardening

Not much goes on in the winter garden. A little bit of weed removal but mostly just waiting for the brassica plants to bear there deliciousness and try very hard to wait for enough snow peas for a meal. Really just a lot of observing and planning.
This morning on my turn around the vegetable patch, the Roi de Carouby snow peas were looking forlorn. The very wet weather we have had during the last month has knocked them down from the trellis.

The broccoli plants are growing well. I think the wet weather has kept the dreaded cabbage moth away (for now).
My asparagus are showing their heads early this year. I'm not sure if this means that spring is on its way early this year or if our weather patterns are changing and this will become the norm. All I can do is pick it and enjoy it and do my best in my part of the world for our Earth.

My favourite of the mornings walk though was this gorgeous heartsease. They come up year after year and are so jolly and sweet. I'm enjoying this break from the hard work of summer in the garden but I am very much looking forward to spring planting time and summer harvests.
