Winter Planting

The other day, when I posted about a cool planter bed from Australia, I realized that I had never posted the finished pictures of our own raised bed.

We have black and regular kale, various lettuces, radishes parsley and fava beans growing now. In other wine barrel raised beds around the yard we have herbs like basil, mint, more parsley and arugula. We tried cilantro but it got burned in our recent hot spell. I think we have three empty wine barrels right now. We are hoping the heat has passed and we can get on with the winter planting.

I 'd like to make another bed, something like this one, as soon as I can. The thanksgiving break from work may be a good time.
