Cowichan Valley Garden Club

Dec 12th December 2020

• still doing the clean up of the odd corner not done
• putting lime and manure on any portion of the beds that become empty due to harvesting and then topping with maple leaves
• harvesting carrots, parsnips, Chinese greens and cabbage as needed
• stored a large cabbage with it’s roots and soil in a bucket in a cool room.  Outside of it is brown and dead looking but it seems to be solid.  Will open it in January and see how well it stored.
• grew ginger in an old canner.  The harvest was small but in addition to the new rhizomes the old pieces originally planted were still good.  Got a harvest that is chopped up and frozen but doubt I will do it again as a large harvest requires two years.
