Good morning, its about 40 degrees 3 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach. I took a chance and planted 100 beet seeds a week ago. We have had frost at night so I hope the soil protected them. I also planted turnips and carrots and the turnips have sprouted. For fun I germinated celery seeds indoors; they are about 1 inch high. I had good luck with celery in the past.
THANKS for starting this great thread!! Nice to take a break from politics and current events. FR is the best source of info on the web!!
Other than radishes, I’ve never had any luck with root crops, but we are going to give beets and carrots another try this year.
The temp has actually climbed 10 degrees since my first post, and thankfully the wind is much better behaved than it has been most of the week :)
You’re a whole lot closer to the water than we are. I’m about equi-distant between the Chesapeake and the barrier bays on the Atlantic side in northern Accomac Cty.
