Winter CSA: Week 6

Yikes, 7 degrees Fahrenheit the thermometer at the farm read this past Thursday morning. While I know I'm suppose to be a four season farmer, and I vow to work with the seasons (without adding any fossil fuel heat to the hoophouses), that temperature with a forecast of 3 more nights coming that cold or colder can make me a little nervous. I'd much rather have temperatures in the 20s. So we decided to harvest quite a bit of variety this week while the getting is good so to speak (who knows what we will be able to harvest next week)...
