That groundhog did a number on them. The leaves that were there were not nice. So, I didn't pick any. Now get out there and get your bok choy....it's going to get cold!<br /><br />Thanks Mary, I am over the upsetment and depression regarding the garden move. Now, I'm just going to plan it out and keep a positive attitude.<br /><br />Perdita, We really don't eat any grocery store veggies. But, the carrots were few and far between this year. So, we are going to have to buy some organic ones somewhere this winter :(<br /><br />Jane, there is some colder weather coming in today. Maybe that will get rid of some of the bugs. I found a couple of slugs on the pak choi. The lowest temp in the cold frames has been 39 so far. That is not low enough to kill those bugs.<br /><br />Norma, The warm weather has been nice....but, it is not good for the garden and those darn bugs!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-83997836979928917352012-01-02T12:03:27.471-05:002012-01-02T12:03:27.471-05:00It's official.... you can quit saying you cann...It's official.... you can quit saying you cannot grow spinach now... because obviously you can!
