My Lebanese uncle couldn't restrain himself - he hadn't eaten fresh green favas in 20 years - and he filled his pockets on a visit to the Bay Area one May. Anyway. People plant favas and then I guess they just cut 'em down and use em for mulch, 'cause hardly anybody is eating them. <BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to plant favas in my front yard this fall. Nobody will care, this is Oakland, we have a full roster of permaculture classes at the community college up the hill.Bedouinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214561733659157727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-47619994832240131922007-07-06T07:18:00.000-07:002007-07-06T07:18:00.000-07:00One plant that makes great salad greens all winter...One plant that makes great salad greens all winter is mache (also called corn salad). It survives all winter in here in central Virginia with no cover. Plant a fair amount as the leaves are somewhat small. Salad plants will grow short and low in the winter and then grow more verticle as the weather warms if not covered with a cold frame. If you cover your plants with row cover or frost blanket they will be protected a few degrees cooler than normal. If you grow under old window frames they will be warmed up enough to grow significantly instead of just maintaining (definitely don't use painted frames, and look for storm window glass as it is tempered and less dangerous.) We planted our spinach very late last year and it did not really mature until December. We were still harvesting lots of leaves through May from the same plants. They only looked bad in February when a cold snap hit. They weren't covered. Part of the trick is to plant a lot so that when growth slows down or stops for a while you can still pick some leaves without harming any individual plant too much. Then when you get a warm spell they recover. I have to agree the cold weather makes the vegetables much sweeter. We pulled our carrots in December and they were seriously sweet, the spinach was as well. Tat soi grew pretty well over the winter but did best under the old windows we use for coldframes. A really hard frost will kill it. The windows cost nothing (check for throwaways at places that do replacement windows) and are portable so can be put away when no longer needed. They can rest on small boards and be jacked up on one side to tilt toward the sun. If needed the space on the sides can be stuffed with a little straw or hay to keep the heat in. Just remember to remove it on warm days. Other winter hardy greens I've heard about include miner's lettuce and Good King Henry. I haven't tried these yet, but Bountiful Gardens catalog lists them. No bugs! I love winter gardening!

Are the bales arranged around the perimeter of a bed with the windowframe over the top? If and when you have a moment to clarify....would you mind terribly? I'm glad to have read your article, as it puts everything down very concisely for a novice veggie gardener like myself.

My first frost is usually first week in Oct although its been the second week for two years.<BR/>So I have approx 90+ days left. <BR/>Anything say approx 70 days or less will be great say bok choi, carrots etc. <BR/>But if I have seeds and space I might try a 90 something dry corn(actually planted it not sure if chickens left any seeds to grow fencing not great).<BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-6921248523097073462007-07-05T10:48:00.000-07:002007-07-05T10:48:00.000-07:00Thank you for this information and inpiration!
