Lucy Puggle and I took a walk in the garden yesterday and snapped a few pictures of the vegetables we have growing. Even though we’ve had several nights with freezing temps, it’s pretty amazing how many vegetables are still hanging in there.
The fava beans for instance. I thought for sure they would all turn black and shrivel up by now.
Our garlic shoots. I need to cover these with some leaf litter to protect them a wee bit, but otherwise, they are doing great.
Ahh beets. I just pulled a few of these babies for our tomorrows Thanksgiving feast.
Turnips.
Winter kale.
And looky here. Broccoli!! I’m not sure how large the two heads I’ve got growing are going to get, but let me tell you Bob, I never thought I’d be growing broccoli this late in the season so I’ll be happy with whatever I am able to harvest.
And last but not least, Romanesco broccoli. This one is still pretty young, but once it matures, it will be gorgeous.
Keep calm and garden on. {Even if it’s freezing outside} 😉

My little winter garden is doing well for how late I started it. I’m also surprised how well things are doing with the freezes. Man, the stuff is growing S L O W L Y. It makes sense, though, and I’m not complaining! Just observing.
I love the way your Fava beans look, and your Romanesco is beautiful! I love the color! Also, I see your Kale Tree is thriving. Looks good!
Happy Thanksgiving!
