Post Sandy







Here is my greenhouse, now a White House, in a bit of a depression.
 
 
Enter at your own risk....and to my surprise, after a week of various important and umimportant-but-fun activities, I cleaned up the broken structure and found many young and healthy plants growing just fine. At least the ones that were not completely flattened. As I often remind myself, it's all an experiment, and the early winter weather sure makes it interesting.



Red Russian Kale going strong.                            

 
A low tunnel put up with some of the weight, but mostly smashed the lettuces, pac choi and tatsoi below. A good shovel reveals crisp and yummy greens ready to eat (or press onto wax paper for bookmarks???)



Tunnel recovered on the left, flattened tatsoi and the lucky lettuces that didn't get the weight.
 
 

Estoria had a lot of fun and was totally safe and well-fed, despite other reports you may have been broadcast by certain fear-filled networks. I heard somehwere that you've got to beware, you can't believe everything you hear.
 

Here's a link to a small video of downtown Red Creek just after the storm.
