Re: Garden report / Carrots overwinter


<<Snipped about carrots>>
 Leave a few carrots unharvested; they'll go straight through a typical DC winter just fine.  You can dig a few up in January and February and have a treat...>>

<<I did that by accident this year..I missed some (in the weeds) last fall,when I went out this early April I found a bunch of them with their feathery little tops turning green again..quite tasty>>

If you want to have easier access to your carrots over winter...pull them up and bury the root in sand in a bucket and place in a cool location ie basement or garage. I haven't tried this trick yet but have friends that swear by it. I usually eat mine up before winter Ü
