Read this excerpt from an essay. Gardening is not just for the spring and summer. It can be a year-round activity if you are willing to be a little adventurous. Garden regulars that make their way into vegetable patches include tomatoes and peppers. Autumn and winter gardeners can branch out and grow cold-hardy crops: spinach, Swiss chard, and carrots. Vegetables like these can stand a hard frost. When planted in cold frames, they can endure even through the ice and snow of winter. You'll have the earliest spring garden yet!
