Just a small collection of what is coming out of the hoophouse:

Kohlrabi, carrots, parsnips, chard, broccoli, turnips. lettuce, and kale. Everything is under plastic sheeting at night to protect from the freezing temps. The greenhouse, OTOH, has been resting. I need to repair and refill the beds in the late winter/early spring. I'm thinking about adding more to the hydroponics and stocking the fish tank with tilapia when it warms up.

That's some good-looking crops. Your hoophouse seems to be working well.
