Mulching for winter

We mulched most of the beds for winter. The two near the back got a layer of chicken coop waste covered by a layer of straw. The other beds got waterlogged straw, picked up from J&P Farmers Market. And some leftover hay.

The strawberry bed got a light layer of mulch. It really needs the blighted leaves pulled off and more mulch. Maybe later.

What’s left in the garden? A nice patch of leeks, quite a lot of kale, some juvenile broccoli that I don’t have much hope for, and mostly bygone escarole. A row of half-hearted spinach.

It’s definitely getting to be wintry out there.
