Fresh frozen cabbage
When I went out to pick
these potsticker fixings, the cabbage head
was frozen clear through, but it thawed out and made a pretty tasty
dinner. This last cabbage plus parsley and Egyptian onions are
the only edibles currently growing uncovered in the garden, but we've
still got plenty of greens and lettuce under the quick
hoops.
We've also been eating a
bit out of the freezer this month --- two gallons down. Very
similar to our larder situation last
year, and plenty
more in the garden, freezer, and kitchen shelf so that we can keep
eating our own produce until spring.
Our chicken waterer keeps the flock hydrated so
they can rustle up in season produce out of the woods.

I find it amazing that you're able to have FRESH produce in the middle of the winter. I had no idea, before reading your e-book series, that such a thing was possible. I'm very anxious to have my own "frozen" foods from our garden next year.
My mother and I have all your e-books and enjoy reading them. Any preview of what we might expect for January?
Well, it's not really the middle of winter yet. I'm waiting to see what, if anything, is still fresh in the garden at this time next month. That's the real test!
January's ebook is actually all written and ready to publish, but I didn't want to put it out there too early. Maybe I'll go ahead and publish it next week, though?
