Fall & winter

14 years ago

Hello all,

It's 105Ã¯Â¿Â½ today, but I'm trying to plan my fall-winter garden.

So far this is what I've got planned.

Broccoli

Broccoli raab

Califlower

Brussel sprouts

Carrots

Snow peas

Snap peas

Spinach

Bush beans

Swiss chard

Kale

I'm in 6A in Missouri, we get some very hard freezes & nasty weather, but I still love being out there.

Looking for suggestions as to what else I can plant, I have space for a bunch of things. Hit me with all your cool-cold weather crops!

Thanks

Ed

Thanks folks,
I'll need to check out a bunch of your suggestions. The idea of Asian greens has intrigued me for a while, but I don't know where to start. Wife & I love pretty much all veggies.
Any suggestions to start with?
Thanks

I'll add miner's lettuce, green onions, dill, parsley, beets and radishes to the list.

All the brassicas as well as spinach, mache and miner's lettuce are very cold-resistant. In my zone, I was able to overwinter spinach with some row covers for protection but I had a thermometer under the row covers. It got as cold as minus 10 degrees F underneath (minus 36 degrees F outside).

The lettuces, chard, and beets (tops) are less cold tolerant - plan to harvest them before you get overnight temps in the low 20s F. Also, pea flowers don't like it lower than upper 20s F.
