Our friends at Southside Community Land Trust have some Winter gardening tips for you. Greens are surprisingly hardy plants that gardeners can learn to grow even in the cold winter months. Generally, direct seeded crops survive the cold better than transplanted crops. Follow these steps to have greens throughout the fall, winter and for a harvest in early spring! Katie Miller of Scratch Farm suggests planting claytonia, spinach, ruby streaks mustard, collards, and lettuce all in mid september. Everything else can be picked in late fall when it is ready, but the spinach can be saved for the really cold dark days - it will survive better than the rest.
