DH put a thick layer of leaves on the veggies that we left in the garden. That plus the deep sn*w has kept the ground from freezing into a brick, even with our sub zero temps. I really was surprised by that. ( just wonder if now that we blew paths and removed some mulch if it Will freeze solid .)
Supposedly these root crops can take being frozen in the ground. In fact parsnips need to be frozen to be really good. The freezing drives the sugars into the root. ... Those i just cooked up....Yum !!
