Last autumn some greens were transplanted into our hoophouse in hopes they would be able to overwinter. I ventured into the hoophouse yesterday and was pleased to see the small lettuce, mustard greens and kale plants have grown, perhaps spurred on by the lengthening daylight hours. I stocked our farmstand with a few precious bags of salad mix. Maybe someone else is as excited about wintertime lettuce as I am?
Despite some pretty vicious cold-snaps this winter, some greens survived in our hoophouse.
Callie, one of our barn cats, can't stay out of the limelight as I photograph the salad mix harvested from the hoophouse.
