To Cover, or Not to Cover, that is the question...

last month

Carrots that is. As the snow & ice storm gets closer I was tossing around the idea of covering my carrots with a thick layer of pine needles. But then again maybe a thick layer of snow/ice would preserve them just the same? I dug up a lot of them today before the storm hits (very soon now) but there's still a lot left in the ground. Pine needles + snow/ice might be too much weight so I left them to the storm. Nite time temps will dip into the lower teens for several days ahead so little melting is expected, and if we get the 6"+ of snow predicted they will be covered up.
