I intended to make the final harvest this past weekend, however there was so much lettuce that I decided to harvest only half, put the plastic cover back on and get the rest next weekend. I was able to harvest several carrots, a beet, lettuce, kale and parsley. In future years with more planting, we should be able to eat fresh veggies from the garden right up to the New Year with nothing more than a thin layer of plastic covering the beds. We just need to get the timing right for the Fall planting. I believe that will be somewhere in mid-August.
Update March 23, 2011: Based on subsequent experience, mid-July would be the latest for us to plant in order to harvest greens through the winter.
