Greenhouse Gardening in the Winter


There are three sources of fresh produce in my winter along the Pacific. This is the time I grow lettuce in my greenhouse. I also have plenty of Chayote to pick and mix with other frozen summer veggies, and broccoli and cabbage do well throughout the winter (my biggest challenge is keeping all of the critters away from them. See chicken wire cover on my veggie box to resolve this).



In our climate, I do not have to heat the greenhouse. I only supply sufficient light and I'm eating salad for months to come. I toss sprouted seeds and nuts into the salad bowl for extra nutrition.
