... this is SO not normal!

Fresh from the garden, outside of Buffalo NY, on New Year's Eve?

Cabbage, beets, lettuce, celery leaves (for flavoring soup), green onions and chard?

If this is global warming... I truly am sorry for the polar bears but I'm liking this.

Temperatures are supposed to go down into the teens starting tomorrow, so I figured I had gone as far as possible with the garden this year. But... I had several nice looking lettuce plants still out there - lovely rosettes about 5" across, and I figured I might as well try an experiment. Some I covered over with the ferny asparagus stalks that I cut back in the fall. Kind of an overcoat for the lettuce, let's see how it goes. And two others I covered with a clear plastic lid (from a cake), and put a rubbermaid 18-gallon tote over the top of that, and weighted it down with a rock so the wind won't blow it away. We'll see what happens under those two layers of insulation.

Know what I think will be under there in spring?

A SLUG factory! (sigh)

I should also mention... those lettuce leaves were from seedlings that volunteered back in August. I always leave one plant, of each variety of lettuce I grow, to go to seed and then I wind up with babies in the spring. But... this year I wound up with babies in the fall. I still hope I get some more in the spring! They always comprise my second harvest of lettuce each year. The first harvest is from the dozen lettuce plants that I buy from a local nursery.

We had a killing frost a while back. Temps in the mid 50s last week, suppose to turn of cooler tomorrow. I don't grow a garden anymore, did years ago. Enjoy the fresh veggies.
