I regret nothing much is happening in my garden right now. The kale and collards are still growing, but the spinach just doesn't seem to want to grow. Garlic, planted Nov 1, is about 8" high and is under a hoop house because it is in the bed with the savoy cabbage.

Seed catalogs are the biggest news.

What about the rest of the region. My Texas area seems to be getting some extreme weather.
