Temps are getting into mid 40′ at night and so far, my cold weather crops are fine..but I know some DO need to be covered from the first hard frost. I’m guessing my peas and carrots need to be covered, but my 6inch kale and my cabbages will be fine? Also- I put in garlic bulbs for the first time; do I need to mulch them under straw and do you have straw (SO hard to find around here). Rsvp. 🙂 mardeka@aol.com

You can wrap your peas with frost fabric if go below 32° to extend the harvest.  Carrots should be fine in the ground right up until the ground freezes.  Kale and cabbage should need no protection down to about 28°-29°.   If you can’t find straw, just rake about 4″ of loose leaves over the garlic for the winter.
