Garden Salad

A salad from my garden! The winter greens are especially nice and crunchy. We've had frost for the past two weeks, but not to grown level.

Mesclun

The mesclun is growing so well! I've gone out several times with a pair of scissors and cut a quarter of the square, enough to make a salad. In less than a week, it has gown back again.

Cabbage Caterpillars

Do you see the little cabbage moth caterpillars on the back of the kale leaves? We started out by picking them off, but we couldn't keep up.

A week later (on Halloween) all we had was skeleton kale!

Then the caterpillars moved on to the turnips to eat and grow fat. We bought some bt, but we haven't used it yet. The caterpillars seem to be only on one side of the garden. I want to get rid of them before the find the red Russian kale on the other side.
