How cool is this? (Thanks to my friend, Liane, for pointing me to it.)I would love to know more, but ancient Peruvians can be very stingy about telling what they know.Here’s another article from Discovery, with mostly the same but slightly different information.

The bees may be OK. I may have been seeing the change from summer bees to winter bees for the first time and panicked.
They aren’t taking the syrup I’ve been putting out very quickly. However, there were bees visible in Rosamund and syrup visible in the comb in Lucretia, today.
We’ll know the truth when Spring actually springs.

Haven’t updated in a bit and I want to make sure to keep track for future reference in years to come. As you can see, the broccoli is doing great, probably the best head development we have had so far. There is also cabbage starting to come around and still waiting on cauliflower, maybe early Spring.
Starting to get some Brussels sprouts as you can see. This bed had plenty of water and I have not opened it in a bit, partly due to our being out of town for Christmas. Some of the sprouts plants had considerable mold, at least that is what it looked like. I cut them back to the dirt and tossed them on the compost. I am hoping for more new sprouts in a couple of weeks.
The lettuce bed is still producing, though it’s days are numbered except for the arugula. I will replant the same mix for salad into early Summer. We have been eating it as hard as we can for the last two months at least.
And of course the greens are doing great, fresh in my morning smoothie every day. I will probably braise a mess for New Years Eve dinner tomorrow.
The root veggie bed just didn’t do much. I replanted it and hope for a Spring crop. That’s it for now.
