Vegetables to grow in Raleigh all year round.
Hello,
I'm interested in learning if there is a version of lettuce or "similar" vegetable that I can grow on my patio garden all year round and not have to worry about the cold. I live in the Raleigh, NC area. What handles the weather the best here? Do I need to get a greenhouse to cover the plants on the patio during the winter months? Can I get by without an additional light source (than the sun), or a heater (other than the sun)? Thanks Sam |

We've had good luck growing spinach through the winter here, but the
success depends on how severe the winter is.

Of course, there is the favorite southern green collards.
There is a thick, meaty green called "corn mache" that is said to really take the cold: http://www.gardenguides.com/seedcata...bles/mache.asp I plan to try it myself this year.

Thanks Sam I'd like to grow a variety of lettuce, but I have a patio garden that faces north, and I'm a bit concerned that there might not be enough winter sun, along with the cold nights. If I have some sort of a greenhouse with a clear plastic covering, do you think this will help me grow this crop successfully. I don't plan on buying a heater for this outdoor patio garden. |

Unfortunately, you'll still need sunlight to make a crop. Do you know how many hours you might have? Can I get by without an additional light source (than the sun), or a heater (other than the sun)?
