November, more and more productive

Nectarine

 I massacred a Nectarine tree to reduce the size and the few fruit produced this season are now larger.

Cherry of the Rio Grande

A few mid winter edibles that provide even when neglected.

 After a six week absence we returned home in mid-winter to see these four vegetables flourishing and providing. With no actual frosts, despite the sometimes near zero temperatures, and watered by only a few showers of rain these green vegetables in raised beds just continue to thrive. Despite the benign neglect this glut of greens could feed a large family and will provide smoothies and greens for stir-fries for months. No person need be without a green vegetables if they have a couple of square metres of land or a balcony that will hold a few pots.
