Killing Frost! Christmas Week 2020 Garden Update

Since a killing frost was forecasted for the week of Christmas, I rushed in and harvested what was left of the lettuce before the frost killed the remaining plants. I did not make the same harvest with the mustard plants since I was expecting that they would be able to withstand the cold better than lettuce. Nevertheless, the mustard plants were all mostly killed back by the frost as well. I was most surprised by the top kill of the seven top turnip greens since this plant species (Brassica rapa) is a biennial that is naturalized throughout eastern North America.

Given that most of the plants remaining in my garden have finally died back, there will be no more weekly garden updates on this channel until March 2021. In the meantime, I will try to include a few videos on seed saving and food preparation, but they will not be always on a weekly basis.

As of December 2020, this channel now has a Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/daytonvictorygardener). Any donations are appreciated to keep the channel running.
