Default Too Wet to Plant?

Are we talking Newfoundland? And are you calling turnips what I call
rutabaga? My last trip up there was 3 years ago in October and the
roadside stands were selling "turnips". Of course we call them rutabaga
down here. I have to admit that seeing corn on the cob in a "tin" was a
new one on me!! I have been up there twice and absolutley fell in love
with the place...St Johns and the Avalon was all I got to see
though...hopefully will someday get a chance to visit again!!



"Yeah. I stagger my turnip and peas
The carrots take so %&$*# long up here, they're in the moment the ice
pick cracks the surface.
Zone 5b in Canada's Far East.
Hm. Looks like you're in my neighborhood, perhaps a little farther
north.
Yup. Land of ice, rock and short carrots.
