Cindy Bee commented on the last post about a few more garden plants that can brave the weather even now, without needing the confines of a greenhouse--a luxury few of us urban gardeners have in our backyards. I have a few more I intend to put in this week, like the potatoes, and maybe I'll even make a first attempt with a kohlrabi plant or two; but for your benefit, should your garden not have the pH limitations mine does, I'll offer a list of frost-tolerant crops.Here they are:
asparagus
beats
fava beans
broccoli
brussel sprouts
cabbages
carrots
cauliflower
celery
endive
garlic
kale
kohlrabi
corn salad
leeks
parsnips
radishes
sorrel
spinach
rutabagas
swiss chard
Quite a list! Tomorrow (if I get my hands out of the garden and on the keyboard again) I'll share the early spring to-do list from the Gardening Basics book so you're all ready to get to planting from that prolific list.
Happy planting!
