The ground in East Texas isn't frozen this year either Bob. It is the
coldest winter on record for many years though. Even here in SW
Loosyanna we've had multiple heavy frosts, a few freezing nights, and we
don't have to worry about the 450 hours at or below 45F for our fruit
trees this year.

At least when your ground thaws the grubs and other critters don't go
looking for the roots of your veggies.
