Year Round Freshness With Winter Gardens

Year Round Freshness with Winter Gardens

The gardening season is fairly consistent in most areas of the world. As the seasons change, the gardening tasks adjust accordingly.

• Spring is time to plant, while fall brings on the harvest; winter brings a period of dormancy where no plants are able to survive cold and harsh temperatures. This can leave an avid gardener with a green thumb that feels a bit itchy.
• While you certainly can’t change nature, you can learn how to beat her at her own game.

Why Should You Even Try Growing Plants During Winter?

Winter gardening is a challenging venture, but new technology makes it easier than ever, especially if you have the resources to get your hands on the latest greenhouse gardening technologies.

In order to grow a successful winter garden, you need to plan ahead. Unless you live in a sub-tropical area, you will need some protection from the elements.

• Depending on how cold your winters usually get, you may be able to survive with simple tools.
• However, serious winter growers generally use a more permanent setup, such as a cold frame or a greenhouse.
• For winter growing, you will want to capture as much sunlight as possible, so keep your growing area on a south facing slope, if possible.

What types of plants are ideal for winter growing?

Some warm weather crops, such as tomatoes, can survive into the winter if they are planted well ahead and are already established. Other crops can be planted in the late fall for a winter harvest, maturing when the days are short and cold.

• Look for plants that are already suited for handling cold temperature, such as broccoli, kale, mustard greens and lettuce.
• Keep in mind that they won’t mature as fast as they would during the ideal season.
• You also may need to have row covers on hand to cover the greenhouse crops on particular frigid nights.

There are many people who offer guidance for winter growing.

• One of the most popular authors that promote winter gardening is Elliot Coleman. He currently has two books available that specifically address this challenging gardening topic.
