My Garden Plot

Last August I adopted a plot in a local community garden. I put a tremendous amount of TLC into my 19' x 6' plot but the treacherous Jacksonville cold fronts ended up claiming the majority of my fall crops. After spending some time in my garden digging up my deceased plants and adding fresh compost to my soil the few plants that survived the cold fronts began to grow back. The plants that are currently growing in my garden are carrots, red leaf lettuce, kale, broccoli, spinach, parsley, and chives.
