A time to dig

We had some snow, some rain, some pretty cold weather. Then this weekend it warmed up and was fairly sunny. A good time to get some more potatoes and parsnips out of the garden. The ground was not frozen and workable under the hay mulch. Could have used a little more mulch.

18 pounds of parsnips

Probably fewer pounds of potatoes, maybe 10? I didn’t weigh them.

We are not using the root cellarbox this year. It failed to keep out water last winter. We’re leaving parsnips and potatoes in the ground under mulch for digging as needed. The carrots are in the refrigerator, where they are taking up a lot of space.
