🌱 Basil’s January Garden Picks
January may look quiet in the garden, but there’s still plenty growing if you know where to look! This month, Basil has picked kale and oranges to show us that winter can be just as tasty as summer.
Kale is one tough little vegetable. It thrives in cool weather, stands up to frost, and can even taste sweeter after a chilly night. Oranges bring a completely different kind of winter goodness—bright, juicy, and ripening in the sunshine while much of the country is bundled up against the cold.
Take a closer look at Basil’s garden guides below to learn how each one grows, when it’s harvested, and a few fun tidbits along the way.
Then we’ll take them from the garden to the kitchen! 🥬🍊
