This savoy cabbage will be especially sweet!
The weather is much cooler than we are used to here in Sonoma Valley. It’s predicted that we will have more than 10 days in a row of below freezing temps. Everything is compromised with weather like this. We’re trying to keep water running as cold crops fare better when the ground is moist but the pipes are frozen well into the day. Couldn’t get the water on until after 2 on Friday.
The crew is starting later, wearing more layers, working in the greenhouse as much as possible, but no denying it’s no fun harvesting vegetables in this weather.
Recent transplanted Red Russian kale is stalled, but not dead.
The fennel fronds have diamond necklaces.
The lacinato kale is resilient but certainly not growing in this weather.
Some of the most vulnerable beds are hooped and covered with remay.
The spinach should grow out of this freeze
We don’t quite know what to expect with our artichokes.
The cauliflower is nestled down under lots of full, icy leaves.
I think this broccoli wants to be picked!
