We've had perfect Fall weather for the winter garden. I've been picking fresh lettuce for my salads for a couple of months now. Of course I had to cover the lettuce plants up with cut off Ginger Ale bottles, a couple of times when we were predicted to get frost over night. It worked though! We've picked collards a couple of times and it's ready to be picked again. My cabbage is just starting to " head" so not sure if it will make it in time before " true winter" is here or not. Same with the broccoli. The leaves look pretty but there is no broccoli to pick. We'll see what happens with that. While Shell was here, she picked enough collards for us to have for dinner one night, along with ham and black eyed peas. A true southern dinner!
