Its a little late now, but I like to get started in Aug. for a winter garden I'm just west of Atlanta Ga. I plant cabbage that will make and hold in the field most all winter. broccoli will usually last till about this time. I plant greens turnips rape kale collards carrots and rutabagas. winter gardening is my best. no bugs. no weeds. pick it when you want it, cold weather slows the growth. keeps most all winter in the field.
