Winter garden lettuce is the start for winter garden salads. The lettuce is tender, colorful, succulent and bitter-free.

Alkindus, Newham and Rosaine are my current favorites, all from Territorial Seed Co.

If you need some inspo for winter garden salads see more salads here.

Garden gifts for a friend.

Spinach also thrives in the winter months in my garden.

As the days lengthen, the garden stirs and birds are building nests—even as a winter storm arrives tomorrow.

It’s the season of garden gifts with much more in our vegetable garden than what we can use. Unfortunately, two nearby neighbors have relocated but I’m finding others to share the largesse with.

New friends on the next street over.

If someone swings by the house, it’s easy to make a bag of their preferred veggies.

Last week a friend from Nigeria requested chard.

My favorite harvest of the week was the Alkindus lettuce from Territorial Seeds.
