Hi all,
I plan on building a cold frame for this fall. I know kale is very hardy,
so I will keep that in a separate bed. I've been reading Eliot Coleman's
"Four-Season Harvest" (anyone else read this book?). The veggies I'm
thinking about for the cold frame are: winter lettuce, fall radishes
(daikon?), swiss chard, carrots, and mache. I have never eaten mache (also
called corn salad) but he says it is very hardy and I think it would be real
neat to get veggies out of the garden in January. I was wondering if anyone
has tried to do this??
I will still do my obligatory tomato plant inside under lights and attempt
to get more than 2 cherry toms (hey-that's better than I've done before!).
Thanks,
Beth (MD zone 7)
