The onion family is your best bet. Garlic, chives and shallots are meant
to be planted in fall so they overwinter quite well here just north of
NYC (5b). Leeks, after a full growing season, may be totally surrounded
and covered with autumn leaves and burlap on top for protection from
snow and ice and thus may be harvested all winter long.

Potatoes will rot in cold wet ground. Plant them in spring.

Asparagus is meant to stay in one place for decades but you plant fresh
crowns in spring.

Hey All!

I wanted to start planning now for fall planting of over winter crops. I
really have no idea what to plant. Garlic? Potatoes?, Onions?

Can you please share with me your success and failures with overwintering?

I'm in Southern New Jersey, zone 6b.

Thanks,

Tim
