Iceberg Lettuce

We're into December and the salad greens have survived quite well so far, despite the recent below-zero windchill. Even the more recently planted red leaf varieties (background) are growing well. In addition to the covered hooped-canopy, I place an additional double "blanket" directly on the plants using theAgribon+ AG-19 floating row cover fabric I use for the hoops.
The empty squares on the left row are from flowers which I pulled. Other than that, every square is coming along. Even the trellised peas (planted on a lark) are holding their own.
