@KK Ng - my apologies - my reference to man made snow was the frost from the freezer. :) We defrost our freezers in the summer, and used to take...
I've always been lucky with carrots for some reason. I've only done coreless nantes due to my growing season, and how cold my soil can be deeper...
@marlingardener thank you for the link and suggestion. :) I have heard of heat mats, but never used one. It seems the only worry I have with...

Today was a good day. :) It had warmed and froze, so I could walk on the snow crust early this morning. I figured it out when my 110 lb pooch...
Thank you for your thoughtful caution. I did read that...and paused briefly. I had Bitter Squash poisoning last year ( had no idea) and was sick...
Well.....all I can say is you caught my attention very quickly with "ground cherry".:setf_049::nerdy::nerdy: I had never heard of these, but have...
