Winter Blast


December 15, 2008. This past weekend the temperature dropped and we got a couple of inches of snow. Fortunately we were well warned and did our best to protect less hardy crops by covering them with row covers and cloches. Now our tender plants are waiting under this cover plus snow and we are waiting to see what survives after. We put many great crops in the farm stand on Friday, some of which froze inside the refrigerator. So the farm stand. now stands empty for the first time in months. We will be harvesting and stocking it again after the thaw, but have for now taken down the “Farm Stand Open” sign.
