While many crops will not grow during Winter’s coldest temperatures, many vegetables will tolerate and flourish with the cool temperatures of Fall and Winter.  In this video, our own Master Gardener, Dr. Amy Turnbull, takes us on a tour of her lush Winter garden.  Winter Gardening in Zone 6 may not be common but it is possible and certainly worthwhile.

Amy’s success comes with a little planning and careful plant selection.  In this article, Amy explains how to select the toughest plants, when to plant them and also goes into detail on how to protect plants during the Winter.

Looking for additional inspiration about Winter Gardening in Zone 6?  Amy recommends checking out Niki Jabbour’s books.  Niki is an enthusiastic year-round gardener that has written books on the subject.  You can meet Niki here and read her posts on winter gardening here.
