Winter is here, row cover, active

Winter is here, hard freezes. Outside water faucet is frozen all right.
Testing 18F difference under cover, and sorrel indeed is holding it just fine.

Here it is, good and not frozen

 Here is the bed, and covered for winter carrots, one more week and they are very sweet and ready for Thanksgiving 

 

More materials for winter, straw

composting wood chips, one can tell which pile is working :) , road is frozen and works well so far

 

Here are sheet mulch-composting beds set up last season, there is no composting activity in them, just a little in the last layer of wood chips cover for the winter

 And here is the new bed with active composting materials, freshly watered over the weekend (during the day it did thaw out enough to water, but not long enough to roll the hoses....that's not good...)

 hoping for tomorrow, should thaw some... maybe...
