Where's Spring? We have taters to plant!

OK, enough with the cold already! We've got a heater in the greenhouse, a heater in the tunnel, and now a heater in the garage. Our propane bills are climbing each day!

We have to heat the garage now to keep our seed potatoes from freezing. We got them today - all 1,000 pounds of them. We have to keep them cool so they don't sprout, but not frozen because then they won't grow.

Our dream is to build a root cellar underground - to keep potatoes and other winter root crops at the proper humidity and temperature for longevity in storage. Until then, we improvise with the garage.

Wish us luck, and here's hoping the freezing temperatures don't last much longer.
