Yankee Farm and Jill’s garden — January 28, 2007.

There were many flowers in the ground this time of year. Paperwhites (Narcissus tazetta) had finished, but the beds were full of leaves. Onions were growing, and foxgloves and stock were blooming. Watsonia, Canterbury bells, Linaria, and other flowers were on their way. Most greens grew beneath row covers, which protected them from White-crowned Sparrows. Cole crops and beets were nearly finished.
