Giant bowl of mixed greens: rainbow chard, spinach, arugula and kale
At this time of year I'd normally be snuggled up in front of a cracking fire to write this post. However, this year, we've got the windows open and the warm weather feels more like late September than December. Whether it's because of global warming, El
Niño or just a normal shift in weather patterns, we are enjoying harvests far longer than usual. Amazingly, the last of the summer peppers were just picked in mid-December! The hoop frame tunnels only have a layer of light garden fabric over them instead of the usual layer of fabric topped by heavy plastic that is usually need to protect the fall and winter garden from cold weather. Here are a few photos of the late fall garden as we head into winter.
