It is a quiet time in the garden at this time of year but that's not to say that it is not still producing veggies for us. I am not really in a position to offer growing tips about brassica such as brussel sprouts and purple sprouting broccoli because they as often fail on me as bloody grow.
We don't however starve during the winter and at the moment we have Swiss chard, brussel sprouts, purple sprouting broccoli, kale and spinach in the garden. We are lucky like that here in Ireland because the winter is not as harsh as in other countries. The Swiss chard even manages to keep a bit of colour in the garden at this time of year.
The chickens have stopped laying pretty much and between them we only get two or three eggs a week. Once the days start getting longer again that will all change. They still seem happy enough mind you.
