Wile we’ve had a mild winter so far this year (today, it’s 50 degrees and raining, which is what it’s normally like in November here, not January), this is pretty typical for kale in winter in central Ohio. Kale in winter, a little droopy, but just fine! We actually have some other kale that [...] We have our first tomato! Yum! It’s a Silvery Fir tomato, and I haven’t tasted it yet. It’s resting on the windowsill for tomorrow’s dinner! One of the things we did this year was move the raised beds into the fenced yard and move the greenhouse outside of the fence and by the cars.
