The New Year is starting mixed. Almost everything in the winter garden got killed by the sustained cold snap last month. The greenhouse is having exceptionally good results early on. It is hoped that the lessons learned last year will make the garden better this year. This year I will begin training to become a master gardener. The lessons there should improve my garden and maybe your garden as well. They will be shared as they are learned.
A Year in the Life of the Garden is the working title for a new garden book. The progress on that book can be followed at http://davidsegrest.com. It gets posted almost every day and is much more in depth than the blog. The postings began on December 7th at the beginning of the hard cold spell. The rationale being that creation begins with destruction, the cold snap definitely wreaked destruction on the winter garden.
As usual, I made a lot of New Year’s revolutions (resolutions). Some of them involve the garden and this blog and those I will share. The most important is to complete the Master Gardener Certification program. Another is to make a minimum of 15 posts per month to the blog. Every year I try to increase the yield from the garden. That is more of an aspiration than a goal, but this year the goal in that resolution is to develop an improved storage system for the produce we get so that less (much less) of it winds up in the compost because it wasn’t used.
