Bales of hay on top of carrot or parsnip rows will prevent freezing and can be dug any time during the winter
and the flavor is improved by the cold. That is an expensive conveniencefor a home supply, for commercial amounts you will need to experiment to see what kind and how much is enough mulch at your place. The parsnips will survive without the mulch but you have to wait for the ground to thaw before digging, carrots generaly dont make it without help.
Spinach will generally make a good crop from fall planting., fortunately Bloomsdale is one of the best for that, and also one of the cheapest so you will not be out much if you lose a few acres.

have lost its menace. Compared to what is going on on earth today,
heaven's firebrands are penny fireworks with wet fuses.
