By now, we have eaten and shared a lot of salads from the greenhouse.  He even pulled a beautiful carrot out of the carrot bed the other morning and then proceeded to wash and eat it.  We cut up the first batch of snow peas into our salad bowl with the rest of the salad, and they were delicious.  He has cabbages beginning to head up, still picking radishes and lots of lettuce and spinach.  The green beans are getting blooms on them, and the basket cucumber has small cucumbers on the vines.  Our weather has been taking turns, warm snap, then a cold snap, and then another warm snap.  We still have to watch the temps in the greenhouse and run the indoor wood stove to provide heat for the greenhouse at night if it's too cold out.  The winter hasn't been too bad so far, but I hope we get some more rain or even snow before it's over.  I would hate to see the drought continue into next summer.
