I planted several cool-weather vegetables out back in mid-September. I wanted to get them out in August, but weather and time did not coincide to let that happen. Las week we had 2 nights in the low 20s. The chard looks gone. The tomatoes and limas are long gone.
But I have been pleasantly surprised by the lettuces and broccoli. I saw the frost on their leaves. I saw them looking frozen solid. And look! They live! No protection! I may or may not get any more than the 127 pounds I harvested this year, but it is interesting to watch and experiment.
