-Week 1-

Things to note...

-Planning out planting locations.

-Getting soil tests and adding amendments. ---Not cleaning up any debris until Spring.

-Some years in South East Virginia zone 7b we can have rather warmer winters and can gather cold crops that have been kept under frost cloth or grown in a polytunnel very successfully. The recovery is very slow on these plants so be careful not to over-harvest, but in warm stretches, they can bounce back a little better and continue to provide nourishment over winter and into Spring. I honestly have not put my efforts into winter growing and will be making that a priority in 2024. It was a backburnered goal in 2023.

Things to note...

-The herbs planted in trays this month are meant to be outside and to experience the cold. keep them out of direct rain, but able to experience the freeze thaw cycle of the winter season. Water them weekly to every few days. In later months I will specify indoor or outdoor for tray sowing herbs
