Mid-January Garden

The garden really has next to nothing going on right now.  A couple months ago, we raked all the yard leaves into the garden.  I ran the lawnmower over them a bunch, chopping the leaves up into smaller pieces.  I figure the leaves will break down some and add plant matter to the soil.  It's what I did last year, and the garden was pretty solid.  Ok, the garden isn't totally dead.  At the far end, some mustard greens and green onions are still plugging along.
In the middle of the garden, there are some kohl rabi and poppies that haven't been killed by frost yet.  I need to go get manure from my supplier soon.  Maybe we'll have another strangely warm weekend coming up.  I don't want to shovel frozen manure.  I imagine that might be hard.
