Undercover Crop

Pulled back the bed cover, and pulled off the under-cover today and what did I see: Many of the greens I planted in November made it through the winter. Salad in a week or two. Had we been here this winter to oversee things and manage the bed in a timely manner, I have no doubts the crop would have been even more robust.
Where the under-cover blew off (bare spots), the greens disappeared; where it stayed on, the greens survived, if not thrived. These are a mixture of a red leaf lettuce, tatsoi, dandeloin, and bok choi.
