Frost is coming! Bok choy, cabbage, red radishes

Posted on November 2nd, 2021 by Marie Williamson

Cabbage and bok choy cook up so nicely with all the peppers. We will still have bell peppers, sweet Carmen peppers, sweet aji peppers, and hot aji peppers for a few weeks. We just went and stripped the 375 outdoor plants of beautiful fruit before the frost so we can store them in the walk in fridge for hopefully 2 weeks or more. We'll only have Italian eggplant just this week since the eggplant will only store a week in the fridge.

We'll be busy the next few days preparing for freezing weather by opening all water valves that could freeze and break and draining our creek water system that can't be winterized. Plus we'll cover up all the plants with giant 30 by 120 foot long frost blankets, and hopefully the wind will cooperate and not uncover the plants after dark!
