Our Winter Garden

We planted Kale last weekend and this morning I planted some Garlic.  I'm not sure I did it right, but we'll see in a few months.  I only planted about 7 cloves, and they were nothing special, just cloves bought from the gropcery store.  I can't wait to see how they turn out, as I'm a big fan of Garlic...

I checked out my fennel today and saw some aphids going to town on it.  I remember reading that aphids are fond of fennel, and I can see why.  I think I'll borrow the blender tonight and make those mean little suckers an herbal pesticide that they won't like sucking on quite so much.  Well, we'll see.
