Good job nabbing those. I’m hoping that with the greenhouse, we’ll be able to bring in some things and extend the harvest a bit later even if the fall/winter arrives early.

Have been very spoiled by nice weather through to end of November in a lot of years - even harvesting lettuce at Xmas time. However, during the 70s and earlier, it was not unusual to have huge snows before Thanksgiving.

Mr mm loves green peppers and if they produce as early as it looks, they should pay for themselves pretty quickly.

I have found that scallion overwinter well.

I started my scallions early this year in spite of the cold. I have some old under the bed boxes, one of which I found at someone’s curb and it’s REALLY deep. So I put those upside down over my plants as very convenient cold frames.

Normally scallions are not big enough to eat until late summer so I’m hoping that the ones I planted early will get that size sooner.

But the ones from last year, when the snow melted, they just started right up growing again, so they are good for right now.
