Hi Friends,

These crops thrive in the cold and will reward you with healthy, garden fresh food all winter.

Arugula

Arugula is at its best in cold weather. Try growing it in cool weather for a milder crop.

Broccoli

Broccoli continues to produce side shoots once the main head is harvested. Once established, you can enjoy broccoli into early winter.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are the most cold hardy of the cabbage family.

Cabbage is very cold hardy. Stagger the planting so you can enjoy cabbage all winter.

Spinach is great to grow in cool weather. Add it salads or saute with garlic for a hearty winter feast.

Swiss Chard

Similar to beet greens, Swiss chard has a mild flavor. Its pretty color will add a little pizzazz to your garden (and your plate).

Happy gardening...
