We’ve reached the winter solstice. The early sunset is cheered by the Christmas lights. In the forest garden, with less than eight hours of daylight, a few resilient plants keep growing and flowering.
The big harvests of fruit and berries are over, though boxes of apples and jars of preserves are still in store. We are using the dry days to extend a polyculture so we can add more fruit bushes and perennial vegetables in the spring. It’s compulsive!
