Last days of the winter vegetable garden


No Photoshop tricks needed to make a winter garden harvest look yummy. Fresh from the garden to the dinner table. Last week the temperatures dropped to freezing but the garden was spared. A huge sheet of plastic left over from the 2004 hurricane season came to the rescue to make a quick greenhouse over the fence posts of our small veggie garden. The plastic came off in anticipation of a rain shower and warmer nights. I clipped a big bowl of greens after the shower Sunday but the high winds will mean the garden is unprotected for the cold night. The plastic tent should be back up this evening in time for more freezing nights. We'll enjoy it while we can! I'm looking forward to shooting through the plastic again. There were some interesting patterns from the remnants of the dried morning glory vines and chicken wire.  -pw
