Major, I'm below the 35th parallel also, Greenville SC, and this fall was the first time I attempted a fall garden. Nice harvest of broccoli and bok choi. Kale, onions and spinach over wintered nicely and so did Brussels and a long season cabbage. I expect a very early spring cabbage harvest and Brussels for the first time ever, DW loves them, and maybe I'll like the home grown version. Planted colored carrots and a round one yesterday for the first time, we don't eat a lot of them, but maybe the grandkids will. The great thing about fall and winter is no bugs!

I hope to do the same this coming fall/winter. Major has inspired me with his lovely winter crops and I can't wait to see if I can manage the same here in WV.

like i have said before a little plastic can extend you growing season a couple months or longer. planting cold tolerant varieties early enough is the key..

Hey she volunteered! Anyway, somebody had to steer. And for your information Mr. Smarty Pants that mystery meat was not muskox.

Moose meat?

Major, have you ever used floating cloth row covers? If so, did you find them less, more or equivalently effective to plastic?
