Hoops Covered

The spinach wanted their own hoop, even though they can come through light frosts easily. The chard was fine without it yet.








Got the plastic over the hoops for a trial run. The sticks mark where I planted garlic for next year.
Here is the view from the top tier, where the sweet potatoes are ready to be dug any day now. The tomatoes are still bearing but only ripen after I take them in the house. There are still a few green peppers left. Anything that is still edible is most appreciated in October. The first picking of the green beans were delicious last night, with chard quiche made with Betty's eggs. Bliss.
