It was 2 degrees here this morning, yesterday it was 51. I have (had) a wonderful greens patch that I let anyone pick from and tried to get what I could from it before the cold burned it up.
I wanted to save my spinach crop if possible, I never buy lettuce when I have spinach growing in the garden. I covered my spinach rows with leaves and put a piece of landscape fabric over the leaves to hold them in place during the gail force winds that were coming with the cold front.

My garden doesn't grow turnips well, lots of greens and just a few turnips, I salvaged what I could and picked a monster bag of kale to cook, freeze and package as my supply until next year. I checked the freezer to see what I had already put up and found I had 18 single serve bags, I need about 40 to have enough to eat until next October when my next crop will be ready to pick.

I packed the Target bag with as much kale as I could cram in it, this amount will fil both of these stock pots after I wash the kale.

I put out a message on Facebook to all my friends to come pick all the greens they wanted ahead of the storm, one of my friends elderly mother showed up, no one else.
