Happy Old New Year!

There is a russian old tradition - Old New Year!
Many years ago there was an Julian Calendar in Russia, the new Gregorian  Calendar was started only on 14 February 1918.


As I see in Wiki the Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian in Catholic countries beginning in 1582.

Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) has been used only for some Holidays like New Year. Even today almost 100 years after calendars replacement we still celebrate 2 New Years.

So Happy New Year Friends!!!!!!!!!!

Harvest Monday, raw diet and November garden update

Sorry, I missed some month.
I love my garden, recently we started a raw food diet after some years of vegans and this is great!

Everyday we can eat raw organic salad from my garden, I'm just buying tomatoes and peppers.

I have a lot of greens, and even after the Sandy and a  huge snow storm in New England the greens look great.

I do not have pictures of everyday bunch of greens, just  beds.

I made a simple cold frame and planted

 there radishes, kale and cilantro.

 Winter carrots

 Daikon radish - 2 finger thick!

 Asian greens - tat soy, mizuna, bok choy and swiss chard

 Bok choy - my favorite!

 Kale

 Komatsuna mustard

 Collard
