					<description><![CDATA[One of the areas where a lot of newer, and even fairly experiened, gardeners get a little nervous is the topic of fertilizing young plants and seedlings. We&#8217;ll give you our opinion and thoughts on the matter! Yesterday, we discussed the anatomy of the seedling. Specifically, embryonic and post embryonic leaves. Another way to interpret [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s discuss the anatomy of a seedling! We find it helpful to know what it is we are looking at as it gives us a way of both understanding and describing the plant&#8217;s growth. The &#8220;classic&#8221; seedling that most are familiar with produce two seed leaves in their initial growth. The &#8220;proper&#8221; name used for [&#8230;]]]></description>

We approach our carrot preservation a bit unconventionally, given our subarctic disposition. As mentioned, we store some of them fresh for &#8220;short term.&#8221; But, the bulk of our harvest sees a blanch and freeze [&#8230;]]]></description>

I guess we technically got one, but we didn&#8217;t quite mean inches of frost! Carrots are one of those crops where they benefit from a little bit of frost and cold temperatures.

We&#8217;ve raved about the benefits, being one of the most impactful things we&#8217;ve done to our northern greenhouse. It enhances both shoulder season and also summer season performance, quite significantly. One of our readers followed suit by insulating [&#8230;]]]></description>
