Garden Journal : winter and rest

Hello HiveGarden! I am Chloe, and am gardening and living in South America. Here are a few snapshots & captions from our now winter garden ...

swiss chard

June & July are the coldest months here in Argentina. Not many plants survive these frosty times but I go out into the garden daily to appreciate the plants that are there: lemon balm, lettuce, swiss chard, kale, and nettles.

Most often I spend my gardening time adding layers of mulch to the beds. Dried leaves, grass clippings and manure from the chickens and next door neighbor’s horses. Winter is a time for deep nourishment, composting and renewal to prepare for the upcoming spring!
