The Big Freeze is Here: Checking on the broccoli

General gardening, Vegetable gardening

This week the weather went from bad to worse. It rained and flooded the back yard then got cold and the big freeze arrived and stayed around for days. Broccoli and cabbage need to be covered when the temperatures go below freezing.
