Last night was the coldest night of the season here. 12 F outside and 25 in the greenhouses. No oil heating this season due to high fuel costs.
Plants are frozen but most are cold hardy and will thaw once the greenhouses warm up.
There still is plenty of Squash, tomatoes, peppers, celery, sweet potatoes, and even a few bunches of carrots protected from freezing.
The kale and Swiss chard and collards outside will probably not come back. 12 degrees is too cold for them. There is Swiss chard in one greenhouse so that should be OK.
No markets this week. The next Peterborough market is November 30th.
Farm pick up is always available. Leave a text or email order anytime. All orders will be in a small red cooler to prevent freezing. Thanksgiving day orders are OK before 12 noon.
