I`m starting my Winter garden.

No winter gardening here other than trimming things back...

Where I live winter is not too bad but we can have some very cold days! so my garden will be planted with winter vegies and herbs which I can cover at night against the frost at the moment I Am trying to build a wall garden which will be along the fence in my court yard so we will see how that is going to work! about potatoes I usually cut the sprouts from a normal potato and put it in the ground and it grows fine otherwise ask your greengrocer for seed potatoes they should be able to get you some...happy gardening!!!

I loved visiting you in March 2012, I saw your delightful garden and comfortable house. Yes, your seasons are the reverse of ours in England here in the Northern Hemisphere. It was a warm and sunny autumn time when I visited you. It had been spring time in my home country. I can only do gardening in the spring and summer then I stop in the autumn when it gets colder. I have cut my grass and tomorrow hope to get it the second cut of the gardening season. In the winter we get night frost and some places get snow. In my garden I grow hardy looking tropical plants like the New Zealand Cabbage Palm. I have got a shed which I painted blue to look like a beach house. Good luck with your gardening my dear friend.

Hope your winter garden does well. It gets too cold here to have a garden in the winter. I will be so glad when the farmer's market starts up here again. I love fresh veggies. Wish our climate was where we could have something fresh like u all the time. Good luck w/your planting.

We garden the year round but tend to plant some crops during the so called rainy season to get them going if we do not have irrigation. I am planning to do potatoes too - growing them in a bag. I have a few bananas that have started to shoor and a plantain too. There are breadfruits on the tree but they are small yet and wonders of wonders - the mango trees are bearingThat's about it at the moment

Honestly, what you've just covered here is one of the reasons that I really do wish that I lived in an area where the winters are more mild than what we experience because I absolutely hate the sad colors that I associate with winter. I don't know anything at all about winter gardening so I'm not able to help you with winter crops that you could have but I certainly hope that you have the best of luck with your winter garden.

I wish I could also experience winter. We only have wt and dry season in our place. So where do you plant during this season? When you say winter, does it always mean with ice? Have a nice day!
