Thanks for the PING, greeneyes.
Winter came MUCH earlier than (I) expected this year. Because of all the rain didn't get a chance to dig up potatoes.
Knowing a little snow might be coming (we got eight inches), I piled a foot of ground-up leaves on top - hopefully insulated them enough for me to dig up Thanksgiving weekend.
Chicken coop and run have been winterized, all of our garden beds have been prepped for winter (with the exception of the above mentioned potatoes).
Now we wait. (Is it Spring yet?)
Well, I’ve read articles about how to store potatoes in the ground for the winter, but we’ve never tried it. Probably should, though - our storage space is so limited.
