early december out back

the interweb says it's fifty-five degrees ( fahrenheit ) out there but my thermometer says it's almost sixty-two in my micro-climate..and that's what i will run with...this is still within the range of temperatures for this date ( right at the top end actually and i have to wonder just when the top end of that range was set...recently? odds are ) and twenty-six degrees above the average temperature for this date...so what's up in all this warmth?

well the egyptian walking onions have traveled, rooted, and sprouted very green..allium on the move fro 2018...

the imported wild strawberries from new york have taken a hit or two from the few nights of of frost so far this autumn...however they should winter over with no problem...

i may have buttoned up the asparagus in the community garden last weekend but it was still green...and so is the asparagus in the east bed out back...it will stay until it dies back...and i will be germinating and planting more come spring...

teosinte ears continue to open and shatter...

the brussels sprouts that overwintered last year have continued to produce...not enough for a side dish but certainly eiough to dress up a salad...

and finally the garlic in the bed of my truck seems to be enjoying the mild weather as well...no need for a mulch just yet.
