Beetroot and frost?

I regularly leave my beets in the ground over winter.  I do earth them up covering the beet but not the leaves, I think this stops the beets getting that corky look around the tops.

Light frost will not hurt them but hard frost will get into them and they will rot. Pull the earth up round them or cover with straw or other insulation and they should not hurt for a bit. They store ok in sand or peat. If you use the with vinegar you can bottle them and they keep well. If you make soups why not do that and freeze.
