Post-winter greens

Post-winter greens

The covers are off and it's all shades of green! That's about three months, left to their own devices, living through freezing nights, often around -20°C (-4°F), and a low of -32°C (-25.6°F), under a couple of layers of medium-weight row cover, which means, little light (with the … [Read more...] about Post-winter greens

Sundown in the hoophouse

Mon, Feb 29, 2016 3 Comments

Sundown in the hoophouse

Not your typical postcard sunset, and it's kinda chilly, damp and mucky in here, even as the temperature outside slides down to an overnight -15°C (5°F).

Now there's even a noticeable bit of grow-back from the last cut, late December … [Read more...] about Cold crop lettuce

It’s cold

It’s cold

Sometimes the winterscape looks a little strange... We've been in a deep freeze for most of the last month (mostly in the -5° to -20° range at night, the days barely higher, with a couple of pleasantly mild exceptions). Today, a little more snow. Need a break to harvest the last … [Read more...] about It’s cold
