Boatload of Greens #2

[retiredwith4acres]

We sure are enjoying these salad greens and fixings the last couple weeks. I sure hope our first freeze of the year doesn't get them tonight!

Hey, that's a nice use for your row crops!

Throw a sheet over the boat!! Too fun!

What a great idea. If you get flooded you can just sail off in your garden.
Is that tall stuff in the center sweet potato?

You need to plant something low growing and blue around the outside of the boat, like periwinkle.

That is way cool!

My greens actually did well through the frost, and some people say a couple of frosts intensifies the flavor or salad greens.

The tall stuff is radishes. I have 2 kinds lettuce, spinach, and onions as well. I have covered it with a sheet about 5 times when frost or freeze was threatening. We have been blessed with lots of fog off of Dale Hollow Lake that is within a few thousand feet and not had any frost and it didn't freeze last night because we had a huge fog again this morning so again nothing froze.

I must be slowing down. I puzzled over that post for 5 minutes before I finally got the joke. :/

Maybe you need one more hanger antenna! :rainbow-sun

I had fresh salad yesterday, can't believe this late in December and still having fresh lettuce, onions, radishes, and spinach. I did pull up the radishes because they quit developing. The other things are getting a little tough but will harvest probably the last tomorrow as we are to have around 20 degrees for three nights in a row. Already planning for spring!
