I have enjoyed this conversation about what's possible with hoophouses, and
I'm wondering if perhaps this could be our first venture into true 4-season
growing. Perhaps I've missed it on the list so far, but what about
planting carrots this time of year, for Zone 7-8, but quite a bit farther
north? We're north of Seattle and we've got that mild maritime winter
climate like folks much farther south. But our days get real short real
quick. I have a bed earmarked for carrots, cleared and weeded and ready to
go, which didn't get done earlier in August like I'd planned. I've got the
carrot seed packets sitting on my desk staring at me, but I wasn't sure if it
was too late in the year. How would they do planted now, with good
soil temps and a hoophouse cover over the winter? Perhaps mulched if we
get one of those extended severe cold snaps (0F lows to 20F highs for
about two weeks)?? If they survived, would I be harvested perhaps mid
spring 2012???
