After record setting cold and an accompanying snowfall of about 6 inches on Monday into Tuesday October 27th, more seasonal temperatures returned Thursday and Friday. Here are some photographs of the transition.

The view of the Los Lunas experimental vineyard looking northwest, with dead foliage after the snow melted...and our iconic yucca in the background. If you look close you will see a small flock of Sandhill cranes making their way across the clear sky.

Buckwheat that was planted back on September 9th, was killed by the cold weather this past Monday and Tuesday. But not to worry, we planted the next cover crop of wheat, rye, Daikon radish, turnip and Balanza clover on October 19th and it appears to have weathered the below freezing temperatures and is germinating through the dead buckwheat plants.

Rows of dead buckwheat plants are visible in the interows.

Close inspection reveals the germinating seedling clover and "cole" crops; radish and turnip.

In addition to the clover and radish...rye and wheat are also visible....they appear as single spears at this point.
