A few weeks ago, I posted a list of vegetables that can be harvested during the fall and winter or overwintered for harvesting in the spring. In this post, I provide a list of the vegetable varieties I'll be growing this season.
I love winter gardening. The amount of labor required is lower than in the summer and there is something nice about having fresh produce even when the weather is cold and daylight at its shortest.
As I've mentioned, I'm a big believer in variety and so I grow small quantities of a large number of vegetables. Below is a list of my fall/winter 2010 lineup accompanied by photos of some of the young plants.
