Gardening mush

We had our first hard freezes this week. Low temps in the 20s. Because the weather up to this point has been balmy, nothing was hardened off, so the plants took a hit.

The veggie garden looks the worst. We had just planted new lettuce and now it is mush. We will pull it up and start over again in early spring.

I don't usually plant snap peas in the fall but did this year. We harvested the first small crop and they were delicious, but that is all we will get. The vines hanging on the fence were destroyed in the freeze.

Even the arugula suffered damage. It usually isn't fazed by cold weather, but the drastic change in temperatures was too much for it. We can trim this back and it should recover.

The kohlrabi is totally unaffected. We had such a great crop this year we are trying lots of new recipes. I like it peeled, sliced and roasted, but it is also good sauteed in garlic and butter. Isn't it a odd looking vegetable? Like an alien lifeform in the garden.
