First year growing garlic & spinach through the winter so we’ll see how it goes / grows 🤔 . #LoveYouSoMulch #AndTheLeavesThatAreGreenTurnToBrown #CoverYourSoil #Mulch #LeafMulch #Garlic #ニンニク #Ail #Ajo #Spinach #ほうれんそう #Epinard #Terrace #TerraceGarden #RaisedBedGardening #RaisedGardenBeds #NorCal #Zone9bGardening #Zone9b #Permaculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlMOMegYwp/?igshid=n79mvc8ar0
