I just popped in via Stumble and I must say that you've already given me two good ideas for articles. In Virginia your climate is generally less harsh than here in Michigan. Next year I will be trying to cloche garden through the winter so as to at least have healthy salads and herbs to rely on.

I have just recently tried this myself, planting in NW Oregon on 10/2, after our first frost. The greens germinated anyway in our warmer that usual October. It's an experiment to see what will actually grow here over the winter. Right now I have: Mache' or Miner's Lettuce, Vit or Corn Salad, Sylvetta Arugula, Swiss Chard, Carrots, and Scarlet Runner beans - all of which just came up recently. All are supposed to be winter hardy. We'll see. Leftovers still growing in the summer garden, even after several frosts, are edible pod peas, the potatoes, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and kales, as well as asparagus. And even tho I picked all the green tomatoes and brought them in, the oxheart orange cherry tomato is still producing fruit outside, and it's ripening, much to my amazement. In the ground I still have parsnips, rutabagas, and turnips. And a lot of herbs and celery. I tried patty pan/flying saucer squash this year and found that it hardens/cures and is keeping well, along with my spaghetti squashes and butternut. For my winter seeds I went to a local (Oregon) seed company, Territorial, which has plant seeds for plants that should grow well in my area. No heat-loving seeds need apply here in my maritime cool rainy climate :) I found a good recipe place at supercook.com for new squash recipes - just type in what you have on hand and it spits out recipes - pretty cool! Thanks for an informative article. Maybe I'll have to give kohlrabi a try - I knot it will grow here. Thanks! Thanks for an informative article!
