The past few weeks have brought some winter-like weather to our area, as it has to so many other areas around the US.
Ice Cabbage – Jan 2014
This is the first year that I haven’t set up the hoops on the garden to cover the vegetable. So far, so good.
We have had more freezing rain and ice than normal, but the veggies seem to be doing alright. I try to water them 36 hours before the big even, whether it is freezing temperatures or freezing rain. That give the plant enough time to use the water to protect itself.
Ice Kale Jan – 2014
These photos show some pretty chilly veggies, but they have come through it all relatively unscathed.
How is your winter garden (or summer) garden doing?
Sincerely, Emily
Not Dabbling In Normal 
Isn’t Nature wonderful? They look delicious…..
The cabbages are still growing, and growing well this year. The kale gets eaten regularly. The big main broccoli heads tasted wonderful, now we are picking the extra little shoots – they are so tender and good.
