Peeking under the covers

Our late autumn has been mild overall with several relatively warm periods, but we have also had a number of hard frosts including a recent dip close to 20F. Last Saturday, I had an opportunity to peek at the garden under the covers, do some harvesting and cleanup, plant spinach and set some slug traps. We harvested lettuce, kale, chard, radicchio, carrots and beets. The largest carrots were about finger sized and are the best tasting carrots that we have had from this garden. The radicchio is heading nicely as seen in the photo.
