To my delight, tonight I only found ONE
branch on the parsley that was spoiled. The mustard greens, kale,
garlic, beets, radishes, chard, and remaining parsley are doing just
fine. Not sure how leaves can go from a crushed dark green back to normal, but it's probably best not to ask too many questions.
I covered most of the plants with
extra Christmas tree boughs since I don't have any light blankets to
donate... it's supposed to get even colder tonight, down to 23F. The sprinkler system has also been turned
off for the season. I've
never done a fall crop before, so I have no idea if covering is actually
necessary at this temperature.
In any case, I'm just glad I got to harvest some more herbs and eat our first big from-the-garden salad.
