Winter

Winter is finally back. With it, the plant killing frost that took out all of our summer crops like basil, melons, tomatoes and more. Luckily for temperate California, this doesn't mean the end of our growing season. In fact, it indicates a whole new set of plants to be grown. Many Brassica species spout up at this time, including Kale, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Broccoli. Other famous vegetables like onions, garlic, spinach and peas are staples of the winter months. My bed, A7, have suffered the loss of our Strawberries and Basil since winter started and were quick to replace it with Celery and Peas, both greatly suited for the season. Here in Sustainable Agriculture, we are busy seeding these species and tending to our beds for any unwanted weeds or pests especially after the seasonal vacation. But because of the rainy weather, we are withholding from tilling the soil while its wet to make sure it doesn't compact. We suggest you also withhold from doing so until weather conditions lighten up. We hope you enjoy your winter farming!--connor
