With at least two hard frosts under our belts, the brassicas and romaine lettuces have continued to hold on. Right now we've got collards, kale, chard, beets, brocolli, cauliflower and cabbage. But unfortunately these won't last for long. Luckily they can take lite to moderate frost without special protection and I hope to continue harvesting up to Christmas.
I'm keeping the lettuces under a low poly tunnel for heavy frost protection and a separate spun fiber tunnel full of kale that I intend to overwinter (separate post to follow). Once we get into mid-December and the chance of snow increases I'll overlay the spun fiber with poly to give more thermal and snow load protection.
