Winter does not give up with out a fight here in the Central Oregon Cascades. We have had several snow falls in the past week. The snow does not stay long but night time temperatures are normally below freezing every morning and often down to 17 degrees F. I continue to use my cold frames and heated greenhouse to over winter crops planted in fall. We are full swing in harvesting Leeks and spinach sown in the fall. I moved one of my heat pads to the greenhouse bench and now have a few early crops sown for spring. Bobbe is excited to have basil, and cilantro coming up. I will grow these in pots for early harvests.
