Well I can’t even come close to that. We got a good crop of potatoes out of our two experimental potato buckets so I put out one more bucket of reds to see if I can get a crop before it gets too cold. They are up through the soil already. Planted some Spinach seeds and am going to go with plants from the garden center for everything else. collards, cabbage and broccoli. My collards made it through some 16 degree nights last winter. We ate them all winter.

That’s great. Here we get down to below zero, so I tend to grow spinach indoors. I do have a winter garden - small patch covered with row covers and straw, but I only visit it on days when the weather is well above freezing.
