Kathryn, Plant them so we will all know, it will broaden all our horizons. Remember a failed experiment is as important as a successful one. Maury Sheets Woodland Produce South jersey Albert Camus-“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of KAKerby AT aol.com 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??? frogchorusfarm.com Snohomish, WA Ruminations - essays on the farming life at frogchorusfarm.com/weblog.html |
