I am interested in what type of vegetables grow best here in North Texas for the winter
I just noted your question so it’s a bit late, but in most years with urban settings spinach, black lettuce, and other leafy greens are good options.
Mustard greens all winter. Cauliflower but get it in the ground close to 1st frost date. Leave carrots and beets in the ground; they will continue to grow a little and will give you fresh healthy carrots and beets until next spring.
Swiss chard and kale will survive into the mid 20’s without protection. With protection I’ve had them survive into the low teens. I have video at libertygarden.net.
We grew spinach, various lettuces, various types of radishes, beets, snow peas and sweet peas and all did very well. The lettuces took a while to show up though.
Collards, pak choy,spinach, snow peas, cabbage broccoli, cilantro
Help, something is eating the leaves of my heirloom tomato plants and white bell pepper plant,
stripping the plant clean and big bites out of ripening fruits, vegetables, I do have possums in
my yard, I do not see slugs or other garden bugs. Ammie

When I clicked the link for this site on FB it brought me to a non SSL session. Once I clicked on one of your menu links I was directed to a secure version of the site. HTTP requests are not redirecting to HTTPS. So google can potentially see two versions of your site.
I have not been successful in being able to post a question on the pro’s and con’s of electric on the counter composter. Please tell me how to do this. Thank you!
