next, we're going to how i'm in gandy's garden, here we are in the middle of winter with, we finally have seen some winter weather, we had to protect the garden from the cold air that was coming in for this first week of january. and we did get down to 27 degrees, so it was good that we installed our protection. now, our protection consisted of row covers and we also had some plastic that we put over some of the smaller things, so it's important now not to keep it on all the time. the temperature is well above freezing, so now, it's time to take some of this off. let's take a look and see how some of our plants did. we'll start over here. this is where we have the garlic all i did was staple this to the sides, we've had a little bit of rain here and that's another reason why i wanted to uncover it. and they look like they faired pretty well. we got down to 27 degrees. which for some plants, would cause some real robs, but i think these -- problems, but i think these are going to be fine. we'll make sure that they're watered and we'll keep that in place in case we have to deploy our defenses once again. over here, in this container, we had our celery. and i'm not sure how cold toll rent it is. it looks like it did suffer a little bit of damage here on the tops, right next to the plastic, but down below, everything seeps to be in pretty good shape, remarkably so for something that went through some pretty cold weather. and take a look. at our radishes and our carrots. these row covers are made different. this is a felt. and it helps to keep the temperature the inside a good 5-7 degrees warmer than the outside temp. so given that we didn't -- we went down to 27 degrees, these should have stayed at or above freezing. i s was more concerned about the radishes, and it looks like they might have suffered a little bit, but there's -- they're still in decent shape, it looks like. i had to harvest some of them. and but some of them weren't quite ready. so i decided, well, i'll protect them from the cold the best i can and see if we could do that. and i went ahead and protected the carrots as well. the carrot, though, are fine rs they can take colder
