It was 23 degrees this morning as the sun came up in the north country this morning. That means game over in the garden except for the hardiest vegetables. The kale will be fine, as will be the beets and carrots. The swiss chard is a frozen rictus of itself and the last turnips will need a shower and some temps in the 40s to thaw out. I harvested the last of the lettuces yesterday for a celebration of birthdays. The fall salad included fennel, peppers, golden beets, carrots and turnips as well as the aforementioned lettuce. If that was the last hurrah for the garden, it went out on a high note.
