First of year, first of snow

This second day of the New Year and there is snow.

It is not much but it is the first. I am predicting a light snow year with temperatures about normal. Maybe wishing is a better word.

There was a bit of vandalism at the CornerStone Garden. The parsley was cut to the ground along with a couple of brussel sprout plants.

Someone who does not like parsley and brussels.

The cabbage on the other side was not bothered. They are still struggling in the cold. The cabbage in the cold frames is doing a bit better. I do wonder about those little green cabbage worms. How do they survive in this winter weather?

They have totally attacked my winter kale.

In a few weeks I will start some cool weather plants in the CRC basement for early planting in the cold frames.

I did eat a few radishes from the frame out in the back yard. Very good eating. Speaking of good eating. I threw everything in the refrig – brussels, potatoes, turnips, carrots, celery, onions, red peppers, and some of what was left of my kale.

This will be my meals for the next few very cold days.
