lettuce, spinach, carrots, garlic, onions, winter wheat, winter rye, parsley, lavender, rosemary, stevia, tarragon.

Several are ready to harvest, others are sprouted, and others are young and tender.

I planted them at different times in order to have a little something all winter long to harvest-so I actually don’t transplant from the “cold frame”-I grow it till spring, and harvest as ready along the way.

When spring comes, I take off the row cover and keep going. Usually I have lettuce until June before the last bunch is harvested for example. This also allows me to avoid a lot of Spring planting, since it is done in the fall.

I don’t like the weather here until around June anyway, so I stay indoors till then, unless we get an unseasonablly warm day.
