You got back just in time for the big chill. LOL I use garlic every day, but we don’t go through it very often. I was going to plant some more, but never got around to it.

I raked some leaves today to put on top of some of the garden areas. Planted some more rye. May take forever to sprout. Lettuce and spinach growing pretty well. Need more row covers, but they haven’t been delivered yet.

May have to buy some straw and cover the cold hardy plants with straw and leaves.

We will have our first freeze here in Central TX tonight, or tomorrow night. My cattle panel arch with the cucuzzi on it is just loaded with little squashlings..so.., since the vines originate in two smart pots on the left side of the arch, and climb from left to right, I pulled up the right side of the cattle panel, and laid it on the ground, and then covered it with plankets...

I couldn’t think of a practical way to cover it as a six foot tall arch, so, I hope this “experiment” works...After the polar air leaves, if the cucuzza plants don’t freeze, I will push the right side back over, and make it an arch again..
