Survivors

We're back to more seasonal temperatures. Today, the high is expected to reach 56 degrees. Time for the big reveal.

First, I uncovered the spinach bed. I pulled back the row cover. Behold! The spinach is thriving! Green, lush, and ... SWEET. I picked a handful and ate it right there.
That was the good news.

The mustard did not fare as well. Check out the blogpost on December 5 to see a "before" picture. Here's the "after" shot. There's no hope here. How do you like me now?!

Other crops are definitely cold hurt, but already showing signs of new growth. They will bounce back and live to give many delicious meals. Note that the weeds have thrived under cover as well!
