Cold Season Vegetables

PLEASE USE THE “COLD SEASON” DROP DOWN MENU ABOVE TO BROWSE THE CATALOGUE

Cold season vegetables survive unexpected snow, frost and cold weather during a normal summer growing season. We encourage gardeners new to the mountains to choose exclusively cold season vegetables. Arugula, asparagus, fava bean, beet, broccoli, brussels sprout, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, Chinese celery, chicory, corn salad, kale, leek, lettuce, oriental mustard, onion, pac choi, parsnip, pea, radish, spinach, Swiss chard and turnip are all examples of cold season vegetables. Some are indestructible in all forms of frost and snow while others such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower need some protection when very young. Generally all will allow a gardener to ignore mid-summer frost danger.
