<< I just planted some carrots and beets on the 5th of this month. This
morning just 4 days later, I have ice on my open deck and a snow like
covering of frost on my garden soil. I'm assuming this is what we
call a hard frost....right ? Have I lost my carrots ? (They have
stayed damp with a light layer of peat moss.) Should I replant that
same area in a week or more ? Sure glad I didn't plant my potatoes
yet... I also have peas, spinach and radish (which are showing) in
the ground. >>
Those are all cold tolerant plants. If you've not had this happen before,
you'll be surprised how much they'll handle.
