Potted on some cabbage starts that overwintered under my #GrowLights. Just curious to see if they grow or if they just bolt in the end. π€ Is EXPERIMENT.
I also washed/sanitized seed trays and sowed two different kinds of beets, which take a while to germinate and are destined for the #lowtunnel.
I cant wait for #spring - I'm betting it will be early! π
Amazing! Here are the veggie plants that are still alive and kicking, having made it through multiple #PolarVortex with subzero temperatures this #winter in the #lowtunnel.
It was a #winter wonderland today! βββοΈπ·βοΈ
The wind was calm and it got up to 15Β°F today. We shoveled a path to the coops and barn late last night, which mostly held until morning. I had to do a little clearing around the drifts next to the solar panels. I dug out the #ChickensOfCoSo and let them all out today. I got the horse stall door open so she could go in/out. The rams' water trough and the #lowtunnel are under drifts.

Harvested the last few remaining chinese cabbages from the #lowtunnel and now I feel like I have frostbite in my hands. Very painful! It's cold out there at 25Β°F feels like 13Β°F with the wind.
The condensation on the inside of the 6 mil poly is frozen in the most beautiful designs. It felt above freezing inside the tunnel. I left one cabbage in there as an experiment to see how it fares...

I harvested about a 1/3 of the #lowtunnel today. Need to decide what to do with the rest of what's in there before the #PolarVortex hits! π€
Also, got the first of the #eggs! I think the #moult is over, but I'm worried the weather will cause the #hens to stop laying again? π€
Starting to slowly #harvest the #lowtunnel. The collards were small to medium-sized. They really need a couple more weeks...
Update on the #LowTunnel #Garden: everything is getting a little bigger. Still harvesting bok choy. The jury is out on whether the broccoli will produce heads or not...
Opened up the #lowtunnel to water it yesterday. Everything is growing well, albeit slow. Little to no pests. We've been eating a lot of bok choy.
