Broccoli and Cabbage

Hello everyone,
In spite of the cold temps, the broccoli and cabbages look great. I uncovered them a few minutes ago.














The cabbages are heading up and I was afraid I would lose them, but so far, so good!

Here they are all covered up--poor things! It got down to 24 last night again, but today is supposed to warm up. You can see the sun on the cabbage!
It may be cold outside, but what warms my heart this time of year is getting the creche out and sat up and turning to the account of the birth of Christ in the Bible and reading it once again. I put out the family Bible, marked the account in Luke with a ribbon, so visitors can read it, too, and that is the best part of Christmas! Sometimes, with all the planning, cooking, and decorating, buying gifts for our family, we forget that the best gift of all was the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.










Happiness to you, Egretta

  1. My broccoli and cabbage look awful. I have it covered with plastic and it still looks terrible. I just don't understand.

  2. Becky, I really don't know how mine survived! I covered with sheets and weighted the corners down so the sheets wouldn't blow away. I did that 2 nights in a row and then last night I didn't cover them. They are planted near the concrete driveway, which might have stayed a little warmer, I don't know. The tomatoes did die, though and they were near the cabbages.
