I have just prepared my first vegetable plot, but it is now winter. Is there anything that I can plant in it.?

I have cleared weeds and dug in some mature manure.

need to know where you live, winter in Australia is warmer than winter in Switzerland,
Reply:Just leave it for the frost to do it's work. Your soil structure will be far better in early spring.





You can plant rhubarb in December and sow a few lettuce under cloches but realistically March is the month t all happens.Well here in the UK anyway





best of luck
Reply:early winter is the best time to plant garlic..plant now for a larger crop next summer...this makes a huge difference to the size of the bulbs.


rhubarb can be planted now, but make sure that it is dormant.


Kale should do well, if you can find some small plants for transplanting.


try sowing some perpetual spinach, it never fails to amaze me how it can survive cold spells ,if it doesnt grow now,it xertinly will as soon as it is warm enough.


parsley likes to germinate in the wet, and can take a while to start growing(try a small area)


good luck..
Reply:it depends on how cold it gets where ur at...does the ground freeze??? their are winter squash and pumpkins...
Reply:Where do you live? I live in Fl. so, my planting season is extensive. Some of the cooler weather crops include squashes, pumpkins, spinach,and collards. Also lettuce and cabbage.
