I’m jealous! LOL!
It is interesting to see some of you harvesting vegetables when we have 2-1/2 feet+ of snow up here in the frozen north! I’m jealous! LOL!

We’ve done it once with a partial row of carrots. We put straw bales (not loose straw) over them, then a piece of plywood over that. The year wasn’t as cold as normal. At Christmas, we went out and uncovered them and dug them out. We had to work really fast once we had them uncovered so they wouldn’t freeze solid before we got them dug and to the house. Cooked them up and they were good. If we ever do it again we’ll stick a fluorescent bicycle flag beside the plywood so we can find where to dig easier under all the snow. The snow was deeper than height of the straw bales and plywood so we had to push through the snow until we ran into the plywood to find its location. Without all of that covering the ground would have been totally frozen and we wouldn’t have been able to get a shovel into the ground.

Does he mention how cold it gets where he is? Most people who talk about green housing in the winter don’t get much into freezing temperatures.

@Zach Buchel, pretty sure my garden doesn’t look much different than anyone else’s, except we can’t grow veggies that take really long time to grow. How do I attach photos? All I see is attach files…?

Update for my Gardening progress!
Sat 4th January! It's wet today , had a sleep in ... then after breakfast got ready to plant onions 60 of them and purple potatos but my veges in 2 gardens - 4 fruit bins - strawberries are getting watered well today I will only need to fertilize and mulch this week! I stepped outside got my seeds and tools ready then it started raining, I love working in the rain ... makes some jobs easier ... Last night I stake my vine tomatoes to help them be supported while they grow ... I'm potting strawberry runners today since it's wet and sowing silverbeet seeds I received yesterday from a friend's premise I visited with her mother Since it's wet today after I pot the strawberry runners , il make kombucha tea and make some fresh bread for dinner ... and i can sow some more seeds later too ... I found a way to make fencing around my gardens to keep my chooks out il plan that next wk ... I also need to kick start making the chooks a decent coop, I need my deck back! Theirs a pic of me with my headlamp on ... I use it to sow seeds and finishing gardening in the dark! Alrighty back too it!

@Larni-Jean Porou , I figured maybe Australia (my daughter lives there.) In Northern Canada, we are under ice and snow right now. 🙂
