Bring it on, winter! Nothing’s going to stop me from growing spinach from now right through spring. As of Dec. 2, I’ve got a small patch of spinach, some lettuce, radishes and a few kale plants that have gotten a good start this fall under a light row cover pulled over hoops. I’ll harvest the lettuce soon and see if I can keep the rest going right through the winter. I’ll put polyurethane over the row cover if there’s a deep freeze or substantial snow in the forecast. But the flimsy row cover alone is all the protection my garden needs for now.
