This picture is from last week's snow and freezing weather.  See the Brussels sprouts?

 

I reported last week that the kale was sad, but not dead.  Brussels sprouts were in that same boat:  sad, but not dead.  Well, just a few days later, after the freeze, we noticed everything in the garden was beige, and rubbery.  DEAD!!!  And the whole garden smelled like we were cooking collards.  It was weird.  

 

We learned first hand that Brassicas can take a little frost, but not a freeze.  

 

Oh, well.  We cut them all down, and put them on the giant compost pile.  And we will start again in the spring.  AFTER the frost date.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
