The only thing growing in my veggie garden are some Kale plants that really should be much bigger. Otherwise that is it, all else gone and done with.

Only thing growing in my garden is winter rye. Had temps in the 50's today after a week in the low 30's. Rye will put on even more growth then I hoped for this fall. That's good news for next seasons soil!

I am never organized enough to plant a cover crop in the big veggie bed. I know it would be good but I never get to it.

Well December already so really have to dream of the spring garden. I got more bags of fall leaves today and I will leave some of them to use as mulch in the veggie garden come spring.
