A few crops that you can grow over the winter are 'Bridger' onions and Spinach. One of the onion rows has a row cover on it, the other one is bare except for the very end where I am using pine needles as a mulch. I am interested to see if it is worth the trouble to put on the row cover. I will have the results come spring. Half the spinach row is covered too. I will see if there are any benefits to covering it over the winter. I usually just leave it bare and have a crop in the early spring. It works out well because the early spinach does not get leaf miners. Also the onions are great fun because they are ready by the first of June! What else is ready from the garden that early? The onions went into the ground as transplants on Labor day. The frost acts as an herbicide and cleans everything up really nicely for the winter.
