The sun finally came out this afternoon. Swept off the small hoop and havested chard and collard greens. The hoops are constructed with 1/2 inch Electrical conduit (EMT) and covered with Agribon 30.
The greens were not wilted when I harvested. I mulched the whole bed with 6 inches of dried leaves.
We’ll see how long it will last. Stay tuned……

With these dark mornings, I have been having a difficult time motivating myself to put my feet on the cold floor in the mornings. Now, I just stumbled across this poem that I wrote last year in early November.
A few swift pecks
followed by quick attacks of a beak
and she quickly plucks
a warm fleshy body from its tree home.
This is perhaps the strongest tie
my heart has held with the insect world
because this is how I have felt
on so many mornings.
-Andy
