With last week's snow, most of the garden is dead. All that's left is lettuce, kale, and broccoli (the small shoots it keeps producing). Apparently you can pick kale after it's covered in snow and well below freeaing. I picked the last of the rainbow swiss chard on Friday. It was so pretty that i had to take a picture before Adam chopped it.
We also brought the pot with our jalapeno plant into the sun porch and that is still alive and well. I thought about taking it into the house, but it's kind of big. It still has around 25 mature or close to mature peppers on it.
We also got our first installment of our CSA winter storage share on Thursday. About 70 pounds of carrots, potatoes, turnip, squash, rutabaga, radish, brussel sprouts, pumpkins, garlic, and onions. We made a rule that everything we cook from here on out has to include at least 1 root vegetable or squash.
