Hi All,

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

Many thanks,

For me fall is the time to gather the last crops and finish preserving
all of the harvest. Also get the plots I plan to plant next Spring
ready. (Ideally)

Winter is time to let the back rest and recover. It is the time to
read seed catalogues and gardening books, take inventory of my seeds
and preserved foods and plan for the Spring. Since I have a
greenhouse I start several things there as early as January. By
February I am starting many of my summer crops there.

Before I got the greenhouse I started many plants in the house with
grow lights.

Gardening or farming is not just a spring and summer project. Winter
is the time to plan.

Do you preserve any of your produce? I can, freeze and dehydrate.
That takes us though the winter or longer.


So far, I blanch and freeze. I also freeze my ratatouille.

It is annoying that I have to buy produce in the winter.
I am working on it.
