One Year -- One Ton of Fresh Food: Winter
You're wrong if you think it takes a greenhouse or a warm winter climate to grow your own food in winter. I grow fresh produce all year in the Kentucky mountains, plant hardiness zone 6b. This is the second post in a four-part series, sharing how I supplied my family with a ton of fresh garden produce from our garden all last year. Come learn how you can grow all year, too!
Harvesting dinner (and carrots for a snowman) during a February snow.
Who needs canned or frozen food when you can have it FRESH in winter?Kohlrabi, chard, and greens from the low tunnels.
This lettuce survived overnight temperatures in the low teens (F), protected by low tunnels... no heat added!
Root crops become remarkably more sweet in winter.
