DISEASES: Many root crop diseases can be avoided by practicing a 3-year rotation and with proper garden sanitation. Consult your local county extension agent for specific problems.

In colder zones, a covering of 1â2 feet of straw in the late fall and winter will keep the soil from freezing and will allow you to dig your roots all winter.
