I may have waited a few days too long!

i had a very busy weekend working Thursday through Monday, and didn't get back to the veggie patch until today. I knew that our over night temps were approaching -10, but discovered that my leeks were frozen solid when I went to dig them up this afternoon. The ice in the raised bed went down about 6 inches.

I had to lever them out with a spading fork, and it took some doing, but I got them out (a little battered mind you), so leek and potato soup tomorrow....

Now about those last two rows of carrots I hadn't harvested... And they were nice ones too! I might still be able to get them out this next weekend, as the temp will rise - when the snow starts. But I have my doubts about their condition - Phooey!

The carrots may be fine. If not you can always cook and mash them to use in soups, breads or muffins through the winter.
