Thanks for the link. Very interesting web site.

I am going to be trying some additional cool weather greens, lettuce, and spinach as part of my winter garden. I have had pretty good luck just using row covers and straw.

This year, I am locating it near the outdoor electric outlet, so that I can put a 100 watt bulb in there if I think I need to at night.

I still have carrot seeds that I will use. I have to say that the winter carrots that I planted in the fall are the only time I every had any carrot crop at all. Carrots planted in the spring don’t do diddly for me.

While looking at Baker Creek catalog I was several carrots that were kinda different, and so I think I’ll get some of those to try too.

Spinach is the biggie for me. It’s so expensive here in the winter time, that I won’t buy it from the store. I will also have some peppers and tomatoes in doors again this winter.

Just a little fresh home grown produce in the winter makes a big difference for good eats.
