All Bundled Up

Cindy put the corks in place to support a protective cloth covering for the vegetable beds about a week ago, and when temperatures dropped into the mid 30's the last couple of nights, she covered them up to protect the plants from frost.

Shhhh, The Veggies Are Sleeping

She's not about to put all that work into raising the plants from seed, preparing the beds and transplanting the seedlings to have them nipped off by frost.  As a bonus, it makes it harder for the ravenous California Towhees to get at these plants to do the same kind of damage they've already done to the tender young Sugar Snap Peas.  

We're really pretty lucky that we live in a place where it is possible to start growing veggies in December, but they still have to be protected to keep them growing.
