Today the temperature was above freezing so I ventured out before dark to check on the cold frame before the snow hits tomorrow. Things look pretty sad in there. The only plants with signs of life are the tatsoi, winterbor kale, claytonia, and mache. The claytonia and mache are too small to amount to anything as is the tatsoi. They were planted to late.
So here is my token harvest for February: 1 oz kale and 2 oz carrots.
You can see other gardener's harvests at Daphne's Dandelions.

The kale looks so much better in the colander than in the cold frame. How did it taste?
Well at least the carrots and kale are sweeter after being frozen. I wish my kale would start growing again so I can have more.
Michelle,
The kale was a bit dry, but tasted fine. We threw it into some soup we were having.
Very respectable cold frame harvest. My kale is beginning to emerge from under the snow. Unfortunately, carrots aren't really harvestable from a coldframe or otherwise yet.
I didn't know carrots taste sweeter after being frozen. What a wonderful little winter harvest!
