The garden survived into January! The first 3 days of the year temperatures were continuously under freezing, with 16 degrees as the low on the final day of the cold spell. Most of the chard, lettuce, beets, radishes took a pretty good beating but are bouncing back. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, cilantro, spinach look great. Waiting to see how the brussel sprouts and cauliflower turn out – still waiting on them to mature for harvest.
We actually had a share last week but didn’t get a photo. It was a lot of lettuce, chard, broccoli, and cabbage we picked before the freeze. Here’s this week’s share:
