As these are the only things, that can save this day. Cancer checkup (all good, just precaution, but still stressful for me, as it always causes high blood pressure), several colleagues infected with covid and some more in quarantine and still some people running around without masks. So let's have a look at some happier things. Look at this delicious chocolate bar I got from a co-worker to eat with my coffee.
And then there is an update on my winter gardening. The mild weather is really great for the plants. On the left are onions (the small, white ones for salads) and on the right celery.

The there is chard, that grows like weed right now. Love to eat it woth potaoes and onions.
And look at the little lettuce plants. They grow very nice under their clear plastic bucket, I used as a hotbed.
And here are my Asian lettuce plants and some radishes. Now you can already see the differences. in leaf shape and color. Especially one of the Red Giants lives up to its name.
And here's the green kale and in the front some plants of an Italian kale called Cime di Rapa. I love it cooked in a recipe called Pane Cotto (cooked bread).
And here's again the lettuce and next to it some spinach, some smaller chard pants in the back and parsley in the triangular pot.
Glad to hear your good news about the cancer!!!
AntwortenLöschenYes, unfortunately Covid is kicking up again most everywhere so please keep well.
Your plantings all look so healthy- well done!
Happy T day!
Knoppers with peanuts are addictive! Happy T Day, Valerie
AntwortenLöschenYES!
LöschenIt's amazing people still aren't taking this pandemic seriously, so I appreciate your happiness focus here :) Your winter gardening is going well. I think I might be tempted to pick and eat each time I passed ;)
AntwortenLöschenHappy T Tuesday!
*LOL* I do that, too, every time I check in the plants. Especially the leaf mustards are very tasty.
LöschenWow your winter garden looks fabulous. I have way too much rain and wind for a winder garden unless I can get a stick built green house. Hmmm I like the looks of the candy and coffee. What is it with people who won't wear a mask. It is huge here in the US. Be safe my friend.
AntwortenLöschenYour winter garden is doing very well! I'm glad to hear your cancer check was all good.
AntwortenLöschenHappy T-day! Eileen
Good morning, your little garden is doing great! I love having my own veggies especially salads Happy T wishes Kathy
AntwortenLöschenLoved seeing your winter garden. Everything is growing really well.
AntwortenLöschenYour chocolate bar looks yummy! I have never had that kind (or seen it) but I can't imagine a chocolate bar I wouldn't like. ;)
Glad to hear your Cancer check-up went well.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Your garden is growing nicely, dear. You have a true green thumb. I am quite impressed. My herbs aren't doing well, even after I brought them in from the freezing weather.
AntwortenLöschenGlad your cancer check-up was good, but sorry to read some of your friends have COVID. Coffee and chocolate DID save the day for you. Thanks for sharing your green house (veggies), your cancer check up, and your coffee and chocolate with us for T this Tuesday, dear.
The chocolate bar looks so yummy, perfect with a cuppa! Wow, your garden is looking fabulous still 😁. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
AntwortenLöschenCoffee and chocolate are definitely a great combination!

How nice to have a winter garden. It is looking good. And lucky you to have someone think of you and give you that chocolate to have with your coffee. Chocolate is always a good thing, isn't it? Hope it was a happy T day. Hugs-Erika
AntwortenLöschenCoffee and chocolate sound good! Nice plants.
AntwortenLöschenI'm glad to hear you had good test results. That was thoughtful of your coworker, to give you that chocolate bar to have with your coffee. Your garden plants are doing very well! Are they outside? If yes, don't you worry about a frost / freeze killing them? Happy T-Day!
AntwortenLöschenYes, Anne, they are outside in a raised bead and some pots. They are protected by foil, but might need some more protection with bubble wrap or something. But most of these winter veggies just stop growing during low temps, but they don't freeze. And so far the temps have been unusually warm for this time of the year.
LöschenCongratulations on the good news! I've had cancer too and am on yearly check-ups, but every time I go I get very nervous.(I'm OK too)
AntwortenLöschenYour potted vegetables are looking very healthy. You must be so proud!
It was very kind of your co-worker to give you a chocolate bar with your coffee. Yummy. (Now I want chocolate too!)
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Good news about the cancer but not so good about COVID! There are still too many people who aren't being so careful or caring! How good that chocolate bar looks , what a kind co-worker! Well done for potting up your veggies - some good greens for the Winter! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
