(formerly known as the flattened chick) has made a full recovery from pancakedom.

The chick, is the Rhode Island Red - which will soon be twice the size of "bossy"... (boss her around now - but hope she has a short term memory!)

From left, Chinese Mustard, Speckled Lettuce, Rutabagas (middle) Tat Soi (foreground), Red Sails (about to "bolt" - right)
from left - Chinese mustard, pac choi (covered), brussel sprouts, spinach, broccoli, turnips
Winter greens thriving in the warmth of
the greenhouse. Tomato plants in the background still producing
(from March!)
We had just one cold week in December - then temps were un-seasonally warm the rest of the Winter season.
The white bars are part of an interior plastic cover system that Neil built - that can be rolled down at night to protect the plants when temps go below 29 degrees...
