Okay Winter. We get the picture. We should shut down the garden for the season.

Chicago has been experiencing a deep freeze the past couple of weeks, with wind chills dropping into the single digits.  We still have some crops in the ground in our garden, but were waiting for the temperature to come back up near (if not above) freezing to make it easier to work the soil.  We had good conditions today, but the light mist that started the morning turned to blowing snow!  So it made for an interesting work day.

Robert, Jalen, and Matthew collect all the beans, pull the old vines from the fence, and compost the waste.

Matthew shows off one of our last carrots.

Jalen, Matthew, Robert, and Isaiah sort bean pods to dry.  We'll then remove the colorful beans.

The crew proudly shows off onions and carrots that we harvested and washed.
