Surviving The Snow Storm

So, I guess you can call what we had last week a snow storm, mainly because it was the first snow of the season.  We did have major snow accumulation and all the produce was under the snow.  Before it snowed the temperature dropped for a couple of days and then we got this massive snow dump. I was thinking at the time, too bad the snow didn't come first for insulation.  Today I went out to take pictures to prove how amazing these greens are. The front yard has Mustard Greens (Red), Rainbow Swiss Chard and Cilantro.

As you can see, they are still beautiful and what I can tell you is that they taste beautiful also. They were completely buried under the snow for a couple of days.  I'm sure my neighbours are quite surprised to see me out there harvesting after all that severe weather.

I went to the back yard and to take some pictures of the kale and the cold frame.  Yesterday, I had to thin the greens in the cold frame so I took those in to eat.  I also harvested what I think will be the last of the beets. I said that the last time I harvested 22 beets but I'm pretty sure this is the last time for the beets. I can't imagine that they will grow any at this time.

I love harvesting at any time of the year but especially in December!

Happy harvesting to those who still have produce in their gardens.
