I’m growing several pots of spinich on the sunporch now. I also have some broccoli and pepper plants out there. the broccoli and pepper won’t do a lot over the winter but they’ll take off for an early start in the spring.

LOL = my container garden is a bunch of winter onions. I had them growing on the home place, brought down from where my gr grandfather homesteaded by my parents- I shared with my kids, and brought home alot of sets this fall.

Some are in a 15 inch by 36 inch raised area along the side of the garage and the rest are in a large container-also along the west side of the garage.

We have been down in single digits sometimes at night but they are doing a bit of growing. Mostly they will wait til weather gets more moderate-but they are happy campers.
