Strange Season

As I write this on Sunday evening, the temp is 55 and whatever snow was still left is rapidly disappearing.  Besides hoisting the Christmas lighting today, I harvested the remaining bed of beets and the brussels sprouts.  There is still a ton of good vegetables in the outdoor gardens, ranging from tokyo cross turnips to kohlrabi to spinach and daikon radishes.  Of course the kale and collards look good and with the rain predicted on Tuesday evening they should be in mid season form.  Who's afraid of December.
