Good winter veggies

[Mango Man]

X-No-Archive: Yes

Any suggestions for what grow good during fall and winter months. I live in an area that is usually sunny with highs in the 60s and lows in the 30's with a few 20s and an occassional teen thrown in. What are good veggies to grow in these conditions. Celery??? Lettuce??? Any thoughts?

• Swiss chard

• Lettuce

• Maybe celery - I've not grown it, so I don't know.

• Most of the Asian greens, including mizuna, hon tsa tai, bok choy, choy sum, and Chinese cabbage

• Beets

• Carrots

• Radicchio

• Chicory

(Really, most any salad green.)

It would help to cover things with a floating row cover, especially during the colder nights.

My Swiss chard survived last winter until the temperature hit 12 F. And it was in a pot, not even growing in the ground. Lettuce I was growing this spring survived temperatures of about 16 F, plus a foot of wet snow.
