It is still fall but we are really having some wintery weather. I like the snow but wish we didn't have to get out to go to school. B decided that with the predicted low temperatures we should get the rest of the carrots out of the ground. We had been leaving them in the ground as long as possible and harvesting them as needed.
P enjoyed bringing some of the harvest to the house when she got home from preschool.
When D got out of school he helped finish the harvest. We now have carrots in our root cellar stored in buckets of wet (damp) sand. B researched and found this to be the recommended method of storage. We shall see.
Today was indeed the right day for the harvest. It is currently 11 degrees F.
