We'd heard that you could keep carrots in the ground all winter so we thought we'd try it, plus we had a really good carrot crop last year and couldn't possibly eat them all before winter. We also bought a CSA storage share last year which gave us probably 15 additional pounds of carrots in December so we were busy eating those. We covered the carrots with a layer of fall leaves and left them. Turns out carrots winter wonderfully! I dug them up in March and got quite a bounty. There were a few bug holes at the tops of some carrots, but not a huge deal. I'm guessing I harvested at least 10 pounds.
Since we had so many carrots, i decided to make Adam's favorite cake: carrot cake. It turned out really well (don't tell Adam that carrot cake is pretty much foulproof and fairly easy!).
