2019 winter garden

We haven't decided yet where to put it or what to cover it will but it will be unheated. We have done low tunnels but I would like something I can stand up in instead of kneel in the snow to harvest. Hubby thought about attaching it to the south side of the barn... it's a thought.

I did decided what to grow and pulled those as I don't want to have a repeat of early spring or late fall veggies coming in. I know we could easily get tired of them.

I chose the following 34 varieties for the winter garden. I did read Eliot Coleman of Four Seasons Farm and www.motherofahubbard.com for a list of what to plant, taking in the differences of planting zones.
