We discovered last year that a simple quick hoop can help most leafy greens survive the winter and the cold seems to add a sweet flavor to the taste.

This year's list is quite yummy.

Mustard --- Tendergreen, Broadleaf, and Giant
Lettuce --- Red Saladbowl and Black-seeded Simpson
Kale --- Red Russian and Improved Dwarf Siberian
Tatsoi
Tokyo Bekana
Swiss Chard --- Fordhook Giant

It's my opinion that fresh cut greens from the garden can perk you up on a cold winter day much better than frozen produce no matter how awesome it was when you first picked it.
