I had baby turnips, broccoli raab and others under row cover into December on raised beds, but the snow and ice hindered me from harvesting. I tried to pull the cover up, but it ripped. Anyone have a way to get around that?
Also, does anyone have a favorite OMRI approved spreader-sticker that they use for applying Surround on brassicas or any other crops, for that matter?
Thanks much,

First Frost Date here in the Cincinnati area is October 15, but the last five years we have not had a hard freeze till the first week in December. With our geography I sort of ignore most frosts and keep going. Its the freeze/snow/ice that ends outdoor planting for us.

We are planting lettuces, carrots, turnips, and beets. We have had good result mulching with straw to prevent damage to the root, but in the end unless its under two layers of plastic it gets a bit poor once we go below 28-30F.
We are direct seeding still though in fairly large quantity, usually timed with rain fall predictions to avoid spending time getting irrigation on the seeds....just to save time.
Lettuces and micros we are planting in constant rotation till the second week in November or the first hard REALLY prolonged period of cold, which ever happens last.
