Winter Gardening - Winging it

So I bought some wiry temporary garden fencing at Ace Hardware. I zigzagged these around my little seedlings. The seedlings are turnips, kale, collards and other greens. I laid the medium weight row cover fabric over the wires and placed rocks at the edges of the fabric to keep them from being blown away. The idea is to grow greens for as long as I can through the winter.

I had some results from some soil tests recently that said the soil actually contained excessive amounts of phosphorous and potassium and other necessary nutrients.  So if I'm good about watering, we should have a nice crop of greens for Thanksgiving.
