Overwintering Carrots

So I lied.  I still have a few things to plant.  Today I pulled out the remaining leeks (which should have been harvested ages ago) and sowed five short rows of an overwintering carrot called 'Merida.'  They should be ready some time next spring or early summer.  Update:  A flop

When I pulled out the leeks I found three little plants, so I put them in the ground.  Maybe they'll grow.  Update:  They didn't do much.






















The early planting of salad greens is getting pretty big.  I'm a little worried that the lettuce may bolt before we can eat it all.




















The next planting is coming along nicely.  Timing is everything.




















The sweet potatoes are taking over their corner of the garden.  I'm supposed to wait until cold weather, but I may have to sneak a peek before then.
