Knowing which Winter Vegetables to Grow:

Successful Garden Planning

Knowing which winter vegetables to grow is both the most difficult and most important phase of successful garden planning. So, where do you find this information? Right here, so keep reading! Below you will not only see a list of the possible winter vegetables that can be grown, but you’ll also see a sample plan for which winter vegetables to grow in your garden.

Possible winter vegetables are the following (in areas not colder than 32°F):

• carrots
• lettuce
• parsley
• spinach
• swiss chard

However, many locations have mild enough weather to warrant planting some fall vegetables also. But, you will need to determine this for yourself (not colder than 42°F). Checking your local weather station for seasonal temperatures, visiting your favorite weather site, or simply typing “lowest winter temperature of (whatever city you reside)” into a search engine are just a few of the options for determining whether or not to include these fall vegetables.

• beets
• broccoli
• cabbage
• cauliflower
• mint
• oregano
• potatoes
• radishes

For those in a mild climate who will be growing a selection of both the fall and winter vegetables, a sample garden may resemble the following. Keep in mind that this is only a sample.

Of course, you are free to double whichever vegetable your family prefers, but find the additional lettuce and spinach great for salads—even in the winter! Then, don’t forget, potatoes are always great for soups, as well as a great side to your meal, whether mashed or baked.

With your supply of mint, oregano, and parsley, you will find these herbs add just the right flavor to your main entrée, but can also be enhanced by any dried herbs that you may have already stored. (If you are looking for more information on herb gardening, you might want to look into either taking a mini-course in herb gardening, or simply read a brief book on the subject). With such an array of delectable possibilities, you and your family will be glad you invested the time into growing a beautiful winter vegetable garden!

Thankfully, the problem of knowing which winter vegetables to grow has now been solved for you so that you and your family can continue maintaining a healthier lifestyle by including fresh, organic vegetables in your winter meal planning. Experience all the flavor and richness of life to the fullest by eating a nutritious diet provided by your knowledge and selection of the vegetables you will plant in your garden this winter!
