Winter gardening indoors and hardy winter crops in cold frames
A ven table gardener without a greenhouse can grow parsnips and harvest through snow. Brussels sprouts and kale survive zero temperatures, lettuce and leafy greens prosper under a heated cold frame. Indoor herbs like parsley, chives, rosemary, thyme and basil thrive on windowsills or under fluorescent lights, with careful repotting and regular turning for sun exposure. Parsley endures beyond frosts and may be transplanted from indoors to the garden later.
