Well despite my best efforts most of my winter broccoli is not going to be very successful due to the unusually cold nights we had three days in a row with a fierce north wind. I had all my plants protected by a tightly sealed hoop covering the beds but despite that most of my broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower and a few of my cabbages got badly damaged. I guess I better start some more seed for spring if it isn't too late.
All my mustard, turnips and rutabagas that were uncovered looked like someone had poured boiling water on them. I have already tilled them under. They usually survive with only a bit of leaf burn but I guess the hard north winds just freeze dried them.
