He has a whole section on winter hardy greens which I was particularly interested in. The only thing is it seems the greens that make it through the winter are more peppery tasting, not sure if that interests you. I think the mildest tasting green to grow over the winter is Corn Salad, also called Mache. He also listed a few radishes that will grow during the fall and winter. I am doing a post next week on the poly tunnel I am starting and will list all the varieties I am going to try this fall & winter. I will let you know when I get it done so you can check out all the hardy varieties that you may like in your garden. In your climate you should have no problem having salad all year with the right varieties.Dan(Urban Veggie Garden Blog)http://veggiegardenblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-24206649853129390152009-03-13T22:01:42.000-07:002009-03-13T22:01:42.000-07:00I'm a fellow Ausint-ite and was wondering if y...I'm a fellow Ausint-ite and was wondering if you could help me. I already have some tomato plants out and when it got cold again, I covered them with 5 gallon buckets to keep them warm. Not sure if that was the right move or not, but I'm new to Texas gardening (well, any gardening really). <br><br>How much cold can tomatoes handle. If I remove the buckets during the day but replace them at night, will they be okay?<br><br>Thanks!kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-27439377594123567762009-03-13T16:02:09.000-07:002009-03-13T16:02:09.000-07:00Is your wife's name seadolphyn?

Saw the forecast on Thursday night and decided that no matter what - my raspberries, strawberries, and cranberry plants were going to get planted this weekend. So I raced home from work on Friday night and took advantage of the daylight savings time and the warmish/dry conditions - and planted all of them before it became too dark to work. Now I am drinking coffee and crawling through blog updates in the comfort of my computer room and watching the wind blow and the rain come down. Life is good.<br><br>What am I craving from the garden? Hmmmm... lots of salads coming right now so greens are not it.... I would have to say RIPE fresh off the vine tomatoes, strawberries, and asparagus. I will get to enjoy them in reverse order... asparagus will be the first to arrive, followed by strawberries, and sadly... I must wait til mid/late summer for the tomatoes.DoubleDhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
