I think with a cold frame we could stretch the season a bit more, but it gets too cold here to grow through winter without a green house. I love the idea, though, and we have dreams of a green house "someday". Thanks for participating in food roots last week. I always look forward to your contributions.

I just received dandelion and radish seeds to plant. We have a second planting of Lacinato Kale growing and hope to plant spinach. I’m a Seattle reader and very much appreciate all this information.

We are also planting an autumn/winter garden. We get semi-heavy snow here so it is hard to overwinter anything, but I'm going to try it with shallots this year. Wish me luck1 We are also planting several winter squashes, specifically the varietals that are good for cold storage. We've got acorn, spaghetti and butternut squash as well as cauliflower and kale and lettuce greens. This is my first year gardening, so we'll see how it goes! Also hoping to transplant my herbs into smaller pots and winter them in our sunroom/three-season porch. We'll see! Looking forward to reading more and seeing how your garden grows! Best, Sarah PS - Thanks for the links! PPS - I know what you mean about taking advantage of sunny spots. I just spent two hours weeding an overgrown plot in our front yard to plant tomorrow. Thinking we're going to try the cauliflower there. I bet we're the only people in the neighborhood with vegetables growing in our front yard! :) Great post!
