I see you are from Louisiana. I bet you can garden almost year around.

Yes, we sure are blessed with a long growing season and winters that are normally mild enough to do some wintertime gardening, but we do get temps down in the teens and twenties that eventually kills everything.

The black landscape fabric that I utilize does help provide heat on cold but sunny days and last year I still had cherry tomatoes and peppers right up through Christmas. We have the perfect winters for cole crops and greens.

The only trouble I have from October through January is that I am a deer hunting addict and that doesn't allow for a whole lot of gardening! ;-)
