Hi All,

Other than Garlic, which I already do, are their
any other crops to plant over winter in a snow
and freezing environment?

Broad/fava beans? Not sure how cold it gets where you are but I
currently have broad beans growing in -6°C. I do plant in mid to late
autumn though. I also grow a 'green manure' crop at the same time,
which mostly consists of things like lupins, mustard, oats etc.


Broadbeans (fava beans), mature seeds, raw

Rats!

Beans also have weird things in them too that mess with
a Primal's digestion.

Rats indeed. Such issues really narrow down options.

Thank you anyway. Yes, I find myself annoying at times too.

Ha ha

Is there anything like garlic that over winters?

How about shallots and potato onions? The latter seem to be quite
uncommon as I never hear much mention of them - a great kind of onion,
they grow in clumps and are quite hardy. Winter lettuce does well...
(English) spinach is another one. Chives might do okay too. Japanese
turnip apparently does well although I haven't tried them myself.
Asparagus crowns... maybe?
