This garden gift basket for my son, Andy and his wife is a snapshot of the week’s harvests: Tuscan kale, French sorrel, oranges, broccoli, artichokes, carrots, celery, spring onions, strawberries and blueberries. 

Though the rest of the winter garden wanes, the beets are sizing up.

A row of spinach got lost in the bolted lettuce “forest.” Steamed, it was tender and full of flavor.

It was late in the season for the kohlrabi with a few overtaken by aphids. Another winter garden “ending.”

Though the winter garden winds down, there are plenty of spring flowers for bouquets. Here, enchanting burgundy alstroemerias and perennial scabiosa.
