    I am interested in what type of vegetables grow best here in North Texas for the winter

    • Justin says:

      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.

    • Ella Fitzbag says:

      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.

    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.
