I just overworked some muscles that have only been used for sitting on for the last few months
Shoveling , pushing wheelbarrow, popping up bricks from one place and carrying them to another, squatting to tend a bonfire of tree trimmings...
I have some mustard greens and asian greens that are beautiful between bug season and really hard freeze. Actually, the mustard is bug free. Last year I may have started too late, or had a little too much shade on them, as they didn't get going very well.
The asian greens are a couple generations out from a couple different kinds, so all I know for sure is .genus Brassica, lol. Harlequin bugs and slugs can make a big mess of them until cold weather, and some of them will totally freeze out.
And the there's kale, Which green caterpillars adore.
But how much leafy greens can one family eat? And it takes time to cut, clean and cook.
I had lettuce survive all winter with snow and everything, I had some water jugs and row cover over them at the coldest. But row cover can be like a cozy blanket for voles.
The wall gardens of lettuce must need frequent attention to watering.
