In reply to Dave. Yes we learned right away that kale is too tall for the cold frames. So that is one of the crops we either grow in a hoop house or we just leave it our in the garden and cover it with fabric row cover!!

Great series! Coleman’s books sure inspired me to push the growing season here. We get a lot of production from our cold frames. But like you mention, one of my favorite winter crops (kale) is just to tall for my frames! I am able to get some at the baby stage by planting it a bit more thickly than usual.

Lots of good winter garden staples in your list. I also grow a large patch of spinach in late summer that I overwintered under a grow tunnel – it resurges with new growth in the very early spring and gives us some much needed fresh fare when not much else is available.

Thank you so much for this information! I am about to order seeds for my fall/winter garden. Mache and Claytonia will definitely be something new but I’m looking forward to them as well as the sweet carrots!

Thank you for all the good information in this series! My fall garden hasn’t been too successful yet, but it does improve a bit every year, so I’m happy to learn as many new ideas as possible!
