		<title>Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This winter&#8217;s first real snowfall began this morning. The first fat clusters of flakes showed no signs of sticking around, but after an hour or so they seemed to get serious, and now we&#8217;ve got half an inch of light powder covering the vegetables that lost their covers over the last week. The plants that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The night after Thanksgiving, we drove through snow coming back from visiting a farm near Windham. Then 60-mile-an-hour gusts tore the plastic sheeting from our low tunnels, again, and I spent an hour in sleet trying to get them well enough rearranged to keep our turnips and mache and carrots warm during the night&#8217;s freeze.

		<title>Cold Weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re having the best streak of growing we’ve had all year, even with night-time temperatures dropping well below freezing and cold winds shredding any bit of row cover we leave unsecured. Most of the trees around the farm have dropped their last leaves, but inside our tunnels the mizuna and peas and broccoli rabe seem [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Along</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week of sun and temperatures fit for shorts gave our turnips and carrots and lettuces a much-needed boost. Even the kale we thought we&#8217;d lost to frost came back nicely and though it isn&#8217;t putting up much new growth it&#8217;s still withstanding our greedy harvests once or twice a week. We planted two varieties [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s freezing! We spent a frantic weekend in early October fighting with a stiff north wind for control over giant sheets of greenhouse plastic. We’d built low hooped tunnels over some of our newest greens and stretched plastic over them to protect them from the cold and keep those greens growing for fall. After hours [...]]]></description>

		<title>September Rebound</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even as it cools off and the leaves start turning upstate, we’re planting and harvesting more than ever. The big bang of June and July was muted by rain, and that rain cast a shadow over most of August: it took the plants, and the garden itself, a while to recover from the monsoons. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fall forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After regathering ourselves after being laid out by the rain and the blight and some bad decisions, we&#8217;re back on track, planting new seeds every week, gathering brand new lettuces and radishes, looking forward to September when we hope to gather the fruits of our second try at doing things right. Some things that seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yes We Have No Tomatoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We planted a lot of different things this spring, from herbs to beets to cabbage to corn, but we looked forward to nothing so much as we did the tomatoes. We sprouted them in early April on our roof in Brooklyn, taking advantage of a 10 degree temperature difference that meant the difference between germination [...]]]></description>
