Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

I have grown a zone 5 winter garden in Utah for the past two years. As
far as anything you can plant at this time the only thing I can think of
that would even have a chance of sprouting and growing is maca - and I
think that is slim at best. Other wise you can place seed for carrots,
bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, chards, parsnips, kohlrabi, mizuna, mibuna,
cress, arugula, mustard greens, endives, chicories, dear tongue and
other lettuces, claytonia or miners lettuce, skirrit and about 40 other
cold tolerant winter veggies. Fava beans can be planted with the early
peas. Most of the list above will probably not make a showing any
sooner than mid to late February for the earliest ones and March for
most of the others. These can be harvest-able as early as 45 days for
the early greens and May for root veggies and such. I have had good
success also this year with dill, thyme, cilantro, marjoram, oregano and
rosemary until two days ago when the winds stripped the plastic off my
hoop house and mercilessly beat the green right out of my garden. Most
are still living, so the experiment now is what kind of recovery can be
generated in the coldest period of winter....we'll see...
