Gardening in January
Harvesting the bounty of my garden the Spring, Summer and Fall months is a great thrill. But harvesting in January is even more exciting! Mesclun greens in January The above photo was taken in my basement just today (1/12/2023) and it is proof that anyone can grow their own greens at this time of year, despite freezing temperatures outside. The average temperature of my basement is ~56 degrees, which is just right for the Mesclun shown here, and many other greens. I have them growing under “blurple” LED lighting, controlled by a timer. These greens are growing in an organic soil mix, which is amended by dried chicken manure.
