Last year I tried some fall gardening with beets, but the weather turn so very very fast (like from 50 degrees to -20 degrees in two days) that I lost my entire beet crop, which was very substantial (probably close to 1 ton- since we were also testing for cattle feed). So I am jittery/concerned that those of us in zone 4a Siberia style won't benefit. Any thoughts? Thank you! Sharon,

Too much work? Not enough time? The thought of fresh food, especially greens, into winter is very appealing -- thanks for holding the class Sharon. It’s interesting more folks aren’t into this.
