A quick trip "up the hill" for a meeting found me admiring the clear view of the mountains and a lovely sunset.
A bonus from this trip was collecting greens (arugula, mustards, kale and turnip greens) from my unprotected raised beds. It's rather remarkable how they've bounced back from sudden low temperatures in the low 20°s a couple of times already -- low temperatures are predicted again for tonight. The kale isn't surprising, but the arugula and mustards?
The mache and creasy greens look great and I've left them for harvest later in the winter! They're quite OK freezing solid, amazingly.
The remnants of the broccoli stems (totally frosted)make me feel better about the woodchuck muching earlier in fall - I probably wouldn't have had a harvest anyway.
