After planting greens in the greenhouse and shallots, garlic, leeks, and cover crop in the outdoor plots, since the freeze we’ve tidied up, pulled up tomato and chile plants and other garden remnants, and piled up the debris. Not much is left visibly growing except chard and herbs, and there’s still gathering leaves and mulching and planting more cover crops to do. We’re planning on leaving behind no bare ground in the quiet of the year.  The hoses are rolled.

The mosquito-eating fish (gambusia) are still visible in the stock tank.  And there’s still some red and green.  Bundled up and looking motherly, President Joyce is taking home the last of the harvest.  Thank you for all you do, Joyce!
