Hot chocolate season

Well it snowed yesterday. And it’s colder than anything out there. Richard had the cooler door open the whole day yesterday, I think because it’s so much colder outside than in there.Today we’re going to be washing stuff all day. Imagine, the low 20s and we’ll be soaking wet.

Yesterday we worked pretty hard to get everything out of the field that would be damaged by the deep cold and high winds last night. We also mulched the carrots so we’ll have some in the spring. Richard and I harvested some neat asian greens that I didn’t even know we had. Hon tsai tai and gai lohn. Vegetables have the best names. That purple cauliflower we grow is called Violet Queen. Nobody thought my Violent Queen joke was funny. Maybe you do.
