Thank you. Our cooler is a unit designed
to keep things cold, not cool them – a huge air conditioner. We keep a
bucket under the unit to catch the condensate, but it’s been empty for a
while. I’ll go throw some water over the bags of carrots (though the
ones I was using were in closed Buckhorns). Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Shoemaker, William H I always address these things first by
remembering that these are living organisms. They have limited abilities but
they can respond to their environments. Carrot roots are pretty dormant at 35
degF but they may be searching for moisture. The surface cells of the root
may be getting a little too dry. They may be producing hair roots to find
a source of moisture. That might explain why MAsteveINE's carrots aren't. They
have moisture in the sand meeting the roots' requirements. Bill William H. Shoemaker 630-584-7254, wshoemak AT illinois.edu From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org

[MAsteveINE AT 207me.com] Did you leave any in the ground? I would
like to hear a comparison. Mine, the few that were left, went in
sand in a 5 gallon bucket, and though they are in good condition, there
must have been a few worms started in them as more and more of them are working
their way up through the crop. 2008 crop canned in glass jars are
keeping well; MAsteveINE
