Snip

You all seem to be banging on about human comfort. A proper cold spell
helps kill off insect pests, rewards those little helpers that hibernate,
gives plants a chance to recover from the Summer and Autumn before it
starts all over again in Spring, and is essential to the proper
germination of some seeds.


Also, parsnips need a good frost in order to make them taste sweeter.
