That’s why you learn how to winter garden. It is possible to grow vegetables in December in northern climates in the ground, if you know what you are doing.

I have an unheated greenhouse. I broke my record this year - I had salad greens that I harvested on December 23rd!
If we get a good dump of snow BEFORE the cold hits, I’ve harvested Brussels sprouts, kale, spinach and onions in the spring that made it through the winter.
Elliot Coleman is the expert on growing food all winter in unheated greenhouses - in Maine! His books are awesome. :)
