As you are thinking (and myself also) surely winter vegetables are difficult to grow. They have to cope with the challenging weather conditions of rain, wind, and frosty mornings. That’s gotta be enough to make the plant shrivel up and die! That’s without the worry that some little pest is going to come up and munch on the cabbage leaves. The amount of sunlight is an issue and not to mention water logged soil. To overcome these problems adequate drainage can be put into place to ensure well – drained soil. Using mulch on the garden beds can allow the vegetables to remain in a relatively constant temperature environment which in return should increase production.
Here is a list of some winter vegetables:
- Beetroot
- Cabbage
- Garlic
- Silverbeet
- Leeks
- Pumpkin
- Spinach
- Sweet Potato
So why not plant out a few of these winter wonders and see what happens, with a bit of luck you'll be producing heart warming dishes within no time!
