Garlic in the snow

 

Yesterday my garlic sprouts got frosted and snowed on.  I do not think the elements will hurt them much. Indeed as soon as the sun hit the snow it melted away.  A couple of years ago my garlic did not even sprout until May and I thought it had all died.  This year my garlic sprouts are all already a couple inches high, and it seems that practically every one of them sprouted. 

This morning I also noticed that last year's kale plants that the deer completely pruned earlier in the winter have sprouted new greenery.  After the deer ate all the kale greens I thought the plants were dead.  But no - it looks like I'll be harvesting more of last years kale soon.  And pretty soon I'll be planting this year's kale.

And some pictures from last Wednesday - the last day I skied all the way down to the road. I don't think we'll be doing that again this winter.


That's the road and some desperate snow
