So, my garden surprised me by not being frozen yesterday and that means its time for seed potatoes. I have red, white, and purple being prepared to go in the ground this weekend. I may try for a second planting in about 2 weeks. I also have some russets on order. When I was cutting my...

Okay. There is snow on the ground, and we are headed for the negatives next week. This is a problem as a couple of my fall onions have sprouted despite my efforts. Do you think they would survive if I shipped out holes for them in my garden and covered them with straw? This is very...
