Strawbale Coldframe and Post-Frost Plant Fotos

 Kale seedlings from our seed growing under glass! We are going to try to grow food all winter!

Uh-Oh, Frost Comes To Town

 A light frost zapped most of the leaves on the squash plants, cucumbers, peppers. Whatever else was a bit sensitive. Not much production going on anyways. We have had some cool nights for a few months now so most of these plants get stunted from that. Plus the intense heat of the day and the dryness don't help much.
