Since 3-6” of snow is predicted for my little part of Connecticut tomorrow I have a question for the experts.
Can I leave collard greens, tuscany kale, and Brussels sprouts out in the garden to harvest later this Fall, or should I pick it all prior to the snowfall??
I’ve heard that frost enhances kale, but I don’t know about snow.
Light snow/frost actually improves the flavor of Brussels sprouts...I have picked them after snowfalls in the past, and they were delicious! A hard freeze would be a bigger threat. I am not sure about your other items...
They all should survive under the snow very well, it acts as insulation and protects the plants while improving the flavor. Most brassicas can handle down to 27 degrees or so without getting burnt too bad.
