This is the first year I have had a winter garden. I really should have planted it earlier, but like everything in the garden this year, I was late. Part of my delay was in trying to figure out something to discourage the cats from using the planter boxes without spending too much money. I decided to buy some short 2 foot t-posts (they were cheaper that bamboo sticks, figure that out) and some green plastic construction fencing.
I decided to plant some decorative kale (bought in Canoga Park at the Green Thumb Nursery on our trip home from LA) for some bright winter color. They have a very friendly and nice staff!
Since I was rather late putting it in, I bought lettuce, broccoli, green onions and baby bok choy already started. I did scatter some daikon, carrots and arugula seed here and there.
Oh, and those naughty chickens. I have decided that they can roam around and try t keep the weed population down. But, I have to keep my eye on them so they don't become gourmets on my garden or my worm bin! Or, worse, victims of the lurking cats.
