What's Growing in December in Tennessee!

It has been a dreary December.  I can count the number of sunny days on one hand.  My back yard is one giant puddle from all the rain.  So on this beautiful, sunny winter day (December 30th) I took a stroll around suburbia (basically my yard) to see what is still growing!

 

Clover

 

Creeping Charlie

 

Chickweed, a favorite wild edible!

 

Dandelion Greens

 

Garlic that is growing from Elephant Garlic that I got at Kroger in the ugly vegetable sale section.  I am so excited that it is taking off!

 

Lavendar

 

Lemon Balm

 

Wild mint that I transplanted from the Canadian border.  This stuff survives when nothing else does!

 

Oregano

 

Parsley

 

Rosemary

 

Sorrel, one of my favorite greens!

 

Strawberry Leaves

 

Thyme

 

Wild Garlic with several other wild edibles surrounding it.  Can you guess what they are?

There is an abundance of green still growing if you look closely!
