Winter garden on Christmas day, 2012

 

 

Believe it or not, the Florida winter is really here!. The temperature range is now around 37 degree F at nighttime and back up to 70+ during the day. The lows did not create any real issue in the vegetable garden though. There was a problem created by who knows with no less than an army-worm which proceeded to invade and eat up some of the leaves of kale and Collards. All is now under the control using neem oil (apparently proving a counter attack is the best defense).
