Only peas and radish will make it to a Thanksgiving table at this point in time. But so worth it.

I am still eating salads from my hoop house, but I planted snow peas, which haven't even bloomed but they are growing. I wonder if the big "shoots" would still be good or if they have gotten tough and stringy? I'll have to give them a try!

I still have leaf lettuce, purple bok choi, red romaine and some mache which survived the 21F temperatures a couple of days ago, I'm just trying to see how cold it can go before things are compromised. The cut lettuce isn't growing back quickly, so I'm saving the final cutting for Thanksgiving, and we'll see if it can grow back.

After that, it's microgreens and Misfits and it won't be long, I'm afraid.

Annie, you could try a second cloch inside your covered salad beds. A west coast Canadian farmer has a low tunnel inside his high tunnel. A have a couple 5gallon plastic carboys the work delivery water service were tossing in a dumpster, (when they get scuffed and funky looking). We cut the bottoms off on a table saw. We also use them for maple sap collection.

Good looking salad greens!. I got way ahead of myself for the holidays and cut a half dozen trays but more on the way. (micros) Two big bags full and will last 10-14 days fridged with a damp p-towel.

The difference indoors with less light, LED, is the fast growth and much more tender stems. Like endive, white asparagus, etc, grown in the dark.

Yet the heartier greens are doing fine outside covered. Not huge but should hold on till Christmas me thinks. Variety doing best is called highlander. Like a kale/collard cross.

I'll be making my Misfit selections for the holiday today...3.59 pm, 😂😜 good selections via the pre-view. I still have so much from last weeks delivery being so abundant. (bigger box than usual). I'm guessing that comes with the fact that southern farms are having a good fall crop.

I still have some turnips and golden beets in the hoop houses, a few of the turnips are big enough to pull next week, but the second covering is a good idea, I'd like those beets to make a root bigger than they are now, which is about the size of my thumbnail!

Maybe I can scrounge up some remay, the row is about 6 feet long so I don't think I can cover it with a container, it'll have to be some kind of fabric. Maybe something I can put on at night and remove during the day...

Remay should do it or anther layer of visquine, (plastic). I'm on a small farmer, market gardener forum and they do all the tricks to extend the season. Bubble wrap, twin wall, etc. Gets to a point it is a hassle for us home gardeners but my small Fall beds are close to the house, like you have. I think.

My last Misfit golden beet is the size of a softball and came with a big bunch of greens. I only get golf balls. If that.
