Carrots, turnips, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, chard, and head lettuce will also be harvested from beneath a blanket of snow. Scallions and fall leeks to the scale of scallions will also be harvested from beneath snow. Onions can keep throughout the garden beneath snow if a protective layer of mulch lies in between. Parsnips and Brussels sprouts will taste sweeter after being lined via snow.
If plant cell damaging freezing temperatures accompany snow, protect crops with mulch, plastic tunnels, or cold frames. Free straw or fallen leaves can insulate vegetation from freezing temperatures as neatly.
The most productive time for harvesting cold-weather crops from beneath snow temperatures is when temperatures are throughout the best 20s or low 30s, specifically if you’re uncovering only a portion of the crop for harvest and leaving the rest for later harvest.
If freezing local weather threatens to freeze the soil, all crops should be lifted from the garden. Frozen soil or sustained freezing air temperature will freeze plant cells and make them burst, ruin crops, and kill vegetation.
Crops that can live on beneath snow—on the other hand no longer sustained freezing temperatures or ice–include asparagus, rhubarb, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cress, rutabaga, spinach, endive, horseradish, kohlrabi, kale, leek lettuce, onions, parsley, parsnips, radishes, and turnips.
