At harvest I shove a hand into the decomposing mass and wriggle out

what
I
need for eating over the next few days and the rest I leave till I

need
to
get rid of them to make use of the newly made potato compost.

hehe.....the ground must not freeze solid where you are!


No thank God! Heavy frosts only and that is bad enough. I'd migrate

rather
than live with frozen groudn or live in a place where fishing isn't

possible
all year round :-))

We live in the frozen north and fishing is possible all yr round - just have
to cut through the ice to get there!!


You just have to have enough Ethanol Warmer in your veins to stay
warm!!

In Madison WI, the multiple lakes freeze solid and the fishermen build
their fishing shanties on the ice. Several bets are placed as to when
the first shanty will fall thru the ice in the spring!!
