What to plant in a garden over the Winter?


I plant onion seeds Sept-Oct. to have transplants in Dec-Jan. From now
'til late February, I can plant:
broccoli (frequently a waste of time—too warm);
broccoli raab (rapini)
beets;
Brussel's sprouts (usually a waste of time—too warm);
cabbage;
cannabis;
cauliflower;
collards;
kale;
mustard greens;
spinach;
turnips;
Swiss chard (silver beets);
peas;
marjoram;
thyme;
parsley;
sage;
oregano;
bok choy;
celery (frequently a waste of time—too warm);
carrots;
open head lettuce;
crisp head lettuce (usually a waste of time, though—too warm)
potatoes;
maybe more that I can't recall off-hand.


How cold do your nights get?
