That is, harvesting everything which might not survive the predicted weekend weather, cold rain ending in wet snow and high winds.
The chard and tomatoes were the big picks, with hot peppers and celery being covered at night and left for a bit longer; our Brussels sprouts will actually benefit from this weather.
The big surprise was an uninvited guest who rode in on a sprig of fennel:
A Black Swallowtail caterpillar eyes his next meal.
But I was eying it too, so he got a ride back outside. 😉
