Did anyone plant a winter garden this year?

If so, what did you plant? (Please share pictures!)

If not, will you try to plant one next year?

But we will definitely be doing so next year. In the next couple weeks we will be building a few cold frame boxes for our future winter gardens. We live in zone 5 so our outdoor growing season is shorter than short.

Are you growing this winter? If so please share pictures. Let me live through you!

I didn't start one either. But I'm gonna try to squeeze one in as an experiment at this point. I'm in Zone 8 and my garden gets an insane amount of sunlight.

In zone 8 you should definitely be able to get a little something started! Our house is south facing and because we are in a mountain valley we still get a bunch of sun during the winter. I was thinking the cold frame boxes should help create enough warmth for me to try to grow some greens and carrots.

I wanted too, but we rent this house. When I first looked at this place, I thought floral business in the frontyard & produce business in the backyard, but this isn't ours & I'm hoping our dream home has this much front & backyard.
Hopefully, we'll start our food business this summer. Last year & this year have been rough for us.

    The garden I had tanked so bad it put me off gardening for the time being. I had considered doing an indoor garden though over the winter. Just have to figure out what can be grown indoors and the best set up for it. I'll make a thread of it. I don't know if any of ya'll do indoor gardens or not but I am hella interested in it!
