the frozen end! :(
« on: November 13, 2014, 08:44:15 am »
Even my more cold hardy greens have bit the frost bucket.  saddens me  because i had a real good crop of swisschard. Suppose i can now start looking to spring and what im going to need to make things bigger and more productive.  This was one of the best gardens i have ever had but with budget and  time i did not get all the beds i wanted in.       heres to warmer days.

Going out to check on my chard and broccoli. I didn't cover them. The tomatoes I picked all and moved the aquaponic ones in the greenhouse so they are fine if they can adapt to greenhouse life.

That first freeze of the year is a heartbreaker for any gardener.  :-/

Very nice garden. Every year you learn something different.

Stayed so cold today I didn't open the greenhouse door. Fingers crossed, going to connect the dryer hose to the vent in the wall of the greenhouse and get it some heat tonight.  Guess I'll toss a sheet over the broccoli and chard, going to be colder than last night. Those 2 will overwinter in Texas if covered for hard freezes.
