Hi Maria
ME> Whow and I just had to cover the green cabbage a bit for the coming
ME> nights because we'll get real hard frost till 14.F (-10.C).  The curled
ME> cabbage must have had some nights of frost to taste really well. So
ME> next week I can make a good dinner with curled cabbage.
Boy that is cold!  A lot of winters we don't get below 32.F. But
some winters we get some nasty cold fronts that come thru and
wipe us out.  I have a feeling this winter might be worse than
some, but I hope I'm wrong.  By the curled cabbage do you mean
the kind I call "savoy" cabbage?  I grew one of those one time
that was so big and beautiful it shoulda won a prize.  I let it
grow and it just kept getting bigger and bigger, unfortunately it
was spring and the weather was getting warmer each day.  When I
finally picked it, it was so hot and strong tasting we couldn't
eat it. Boy was I disappointed.  I grow a small kind of savoy now
that doesn't get very big, and comes in pretty fast. That one is
always sweet and good for me.  I can plant cabbage here through
January.
ME> Our greenhouse is now filled with containerplants for the winterseason
ME> and the garden is nearly empty, only the cabbages and leak are still
ME> staying there. 
ME> Enjoy your wintergardening.
I hope to get some leeks and onions planted this week.  I grow
some veggies in containers outside. They seem to grow better in
that soil than in my sandy garden.  I grow beets, carrots and
spinach in containers.  Can you keep things growing all winter in
your greenhouse?
