This little video is a short tour of a family who lives just a couple of miles from us. If you'd like to know more about them and their homesteading, see here.
Winter vegetables are best planted in late September/early October; however, you can try some small bedding plants of lettuce, broccoli and cabbage. Seed any type of root veggie now ~ beets and carrots grow well in cooler weather. You can plant radishes which should should be ready to eat in about a month. Just be sure to nourish the soil before you plant. :) Fruit trees will be available as bare root in December/January. Check out your local nursery and talk to them about your particular area. And don't forget how delicious the Pluots are!
I came back to watch again, and this time showed it to Nate as well. I think we've decided what we want in the back now. Too bad we don't have that much space -- we'll definitely have to go vertical.

I love it!! (Good to talk to you this morning!)
Mom, what are the best vegetables to grow in the winter, and are there any fruits to start now?
