They might not be pretty, but Paul made them from the materials we had on hand, and they will provide the greens that extra layer of protection that they'll need when it gets very cold.

Lettuce (without that little weed in the foreground; I plucked it after I saw it in the photo):
Spinach, with onions in the background:

We've read that it's important to keep the plastic from touching the leaves so that the condensation won't freeze the leaves to the plastic. Our row covers float over the large raised bed about 15 inches from the box and about 12 inches over the narrow bed. Hopefully this will be enough to keep everything protected from both the harsh winter and the moist plastic.
