Surviving the cold
When it comes to the cold, the zone that gets most affected is zone 10 of the United States. And to be able to enjoy your plants from one year to another, you may have to rely on perennials when it comes to resilient plants.
However, other types of plants that are going to fare quite well in the cold are a number of veggies.
There are numerous types of crops that you can plant that are going to tolerate the cold and that you can plant in the fall in order to be able to harvest them the next spring.
Some of them are those vegetables that need to be planted and are already in the ground anywhere between August and October.
The hardy vegetables you need to add to your rooster include the likes of broccoli, cabbage, corn salad, garlic, kale, leeks, onions, rhubarb, spinach, Brussels sprouts, arugula, collards, fava beans, mustard greens, and turnips.
They can easily live even in temperatures that reach below 28°F, and you will not have to worry about your plants.
If your area is not that cold, but you still expect to get temperatures around 28 to 32°F, but not lower, you should also look into semi-hardy plants. Some of our favorites include carrots, chard, celery, lettuce, radicchio, beets, cauliflower, chard, enduve, Chinese cabbage, and garden peas!
Do not panic if your winter veggies get covered in snow; it is actually good for them as they slumber. If you want to protect them a little bit more, you can always cover them with high or low-plastic tunnels, row covers, or even cloches!
