Winter Garden

Ok, so now that it's the new year, it's a little too late to start a winter garden, but winter's on my mind, so winter garden planning I will do (for next year of course).

Here's a list of winter plants in order of cold hardiness according to Eliot Coleman. I plan to update this based on my personal experience once I've tested these specific varieties. In my experience though parsely belongs at top of list; turnips, mustards, collards above lettuce, and kale earns a high place on the list.
