Beautiful Kcar; I wish I could grow outside during the winter. My winter garden is inside and consists of onions, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, habanero peppers and the herb. I also have a variety of house plants and want to add in some small trees shortly.
Hey, Thanks!
We didn't do a winter garden last year because I re-conditioned the soil with a truck load
of composted horse manure and lots of other goodies. I borrowed a buddys roto-tiller and tilled it up 3 or 4 different time, and let it sit over the winter(Under a giant tarp).
Our summer garden was amazing and over-crowed.
This winter we have Garlic, red torpedo onions, 4 types of Kale, a ton of broccoli, celery, parsley, chives, and lettuce (Butter and Green leaf)
And I started almost all of it from seed. (Pats self on back)
But I bought the seed. Oh well.
Mmmmmmmm Garlic (drooling) I put in a little over 600 garlic this fall; Amish Rocambole, German Purple Stripe, French, Music, Chesnok Red and a few others
garlic, broad beans, purple sprouting broccoli all overwintering for spring crops
standing waiting to be eaten are brussels sprouts, cavolo nero kale, parsnips and carrots and ive still got a few pink fir apple taters to be dug up. didnt do corn salad this year but thats a good salad leaf to overwinter
its getting a succession of crops all through the year that is the real challenge with productive gardening imo.
