up with kale

So we try to grow our own here at Barred Owl Builders.  Kale, that is.  And a lot of other stuff.  We experimented this year with some tiny hoop houses for our greens.  It only took about an hour to make these covers, and they lasted through a pretty cold and snowy winter.

They were an unqualified success.  Not only did we harvest all of our greens, all winter long, but it is mid-April and they are healthy and flowering.  We saved seed last year, and will do that again.  And we have the new spring sowing of kale starting to come up.  Have I mentioned we like kale?  Kale for us is like spinach for Popeye.
