I’ve got a nice crop of lettuce coming along, and some kale, and frilly mustard and chard. I put it all under a row cover today, after four or five days of full exposure to the balmy weather. The weather has taken a chillier turn in the last day, and the temperature will drop into the mid-30s tonight. But still, the 10-day forecast from today, Oct. 31, shows no threat of frost. Particularly under the row cover, draped over hoops, my crops should continue to thrive for a good long while.
