Good topic. This winter I had trouble finding the inspiration to plant because of the past summer and drought. It is still too dry and I need to water. Oh no ... more weather related, sorry.
We have always hosted New Year's Day dinner for friends and I have always had a salad with my own lettuce and spinach greens. This year I planted late so nothing fresh.
In the ground now are two types of lettuce, mustard, spinach, pak choi and radishes.
I had some Red Norland potatoes sprouting in the pantry so cut them and planted. The tops have sprouted. They will get bit back by frost but will continue to grow.
I also have garlic which is about six inches tall and multiplying onions. Also a pot of walking onions.
@needrain. I don't know what zone you would be in but both garlic and onions shake off frost and freezes with no protection in this zone. Even the lettuce and most greens will do the same.
I also have three black cherry tomatoes ripening in the greenhouse that should be ready to sample this week but that is cheating in the greenhouse.
I also hope to start tomato seeds for spring planting in the next few days.
