At 45 degrees north:
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.

I got a letter from a lightning rod company this morning trying to put
the fear of God in me, but with little success. Lightning seems to
have lost its menace. Compared to what is going on on earth today,
heaven's firebrands are penny fireworks with wet fuses.
