temperatures that low,\u00a0even under row cover, but we did manage to extend their season through the first frosty nights when temps were only down to about 30 degrees. \u00a0For this 30 ft. \u00a0row of Calima French Beans the extra time meant an extra 10 gallons or so of beans.<\/p>\n<p>After the next few\u00a0weeks, as we harvest the last of the fall veggies, we&#8217;ll put the last part of the garden to bed for the winter by putting out a winter cover crop of Elbon Rye. \u00a0The growing rye will help build the soil and hopefully foil some pests (like root knot nematodes) that would otherwise winter over underground.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll take off this week and weekend to visit family over the Thanksgiving holiday. \u00a0So we won&#8217;t be seeing you at Farmer&#8217;s
