Lest we get a cramp, we have begun the garden cooldown.
Honestly I’m glad to have less garden work for a while. I spent hours disassembling, emptying, cleaning, and stowing garden containers and structures last weekend.
North plot, cleared except for a few stalwart onions and peasSouth plot with peas, asparagus, bebe beets outside the tunnel, and root veg in the tunnelFrom seed to monster Swiss chard roots in 6 monthsSwiss chard, what’s happening undergroundAsparagus, extracted to over-winter in a warm dry spot, hopefully transplant next yearBig asparagus rhizomeBebe beets outside the tunnel, after a few inches of snow, seem ok. Peas, seem ok.
The warming hut
I have a few root veg that I’m continuing to grow in my little low tunnel, mostly to protect them from snow and stuff. I think they’re fine with the cold temps.
