Beautiful, as usual!

I haven't planted any peas so far, I bought starts for Swiss chard, broccoli, lettuce and beets, but that's all I've done.

The weather the last two weeks finally (unfortunately) went below freezing for the first time this year.  Usually first frost is around 11/1 and first hard freeze is around Thanksgiving.  This year we never had any frost and the first hard freeze was last week.  We had three days below 32*F.  The lowest day was 22*F.

I still have some fall vegetables growing.  I harvested all of my fall planted Bush StriKe Peas but the vining peas are not ready yet.  I have flowers but no peas setting on.  The low freeze did a number on them and the tops have fallen over.

Garlic had broken thru the top of the soil.

Broccoli is heading up.  I now have 15 heads that are from golf ball size up to hardball size.  I have been covering them every night the temp goes below 32, although they probably do not have to be covered unless the temp goes well below 32*F.  But since I am covering my lettuce, I just cover the broccoli also.




I have lettuce growing outside that I am covering every time the temp goes below 32*F


I also have my self watering, rolling porch planter full of lettuce and carrots.  I roll it inside my great room every time the weather forecast is for 32*F or less.

Planter rolled into my great room on a below freezing night.


A salad we had for Thanksgiving.  Lettuce and radishes from my garden but purchased tomatoes and cucumber.

Your beds are looking great, Yolos.
