Was out weeding the raised beds so we can start prepping yesterday and found a couple of carrots from last fall- still edible-- while it's been colder then usual in general it looks like the beds never froze all the way through. The boys thought they'd scored the mother load, 4 giant (5 inch) carrots in assorted colors (red, purple and 2 white). It looks like year 2 of the garlic and they are coming along nicely but the onion experiment was a waste of space- those did freeze over winter and were frozen dead mush.
Next comes the dumping of the compost and the rototilling- but that may have to wait because while yesterday was (hallelujia) 60 degrees we might (gads) get snow today.
