Well I will be writing about growing greens and other cold weather crops in the unheated greenhouse in the coming days.

Hi Everyone!

Now is the time to start hardwood cutting outdoors in propagating beds or flats which is left out all winter. I will going in more detail on how to do this in the coming days. Come on back for more information on how to do this. For now Gardener Den.

Here are some ideas that you can use to grow winter greens.

Hi Everyone!
Here are some ideas on growing salad greens in the winter time. I will be posting more about each one of these in the coming weeks. One of the seed companies that I like dealing with High Mowing Organic Seeds of  Vermont. Here is their website address: www.highmowingseeds.com. You can go on line and access their catalog or ask them to send you one. Their toll free number is 866-735-4454.
Also if you buy over $10.00 in seeds you get free shipping on your seed order.

Here is my list of what I would like to grow in a unheated greenhouse or cold frame outdoors.

These are my suggestions:

Winter Hardy Greens:

Beets: Early Wonder Tall Top

           Bull's Blood Beets Heirloom

Green Salad Mixes:
           
          Yankee Hardy Lettuce Blend

Specialty Greens:

             Vit
   
             Claytonia

Kale:

          Red Russian

         White Russian

         Siberian

Spinach:

        Smooth leaf

          Verdil

          Savoyed leaf

         Bloomsdale Longstanding

         Winter Bloomsdale

         Abundant Bloomsdale

         Giant Winter

Carrots:

        Napoli F1

These are just a few of the items that I would start to grow in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse.
I will be doing articles on each plant that I discuss here that you can use to grow for yourself or if you are a commercial greenhouse or vegetable grower and you want to extend your growing season.
Maybe you would want to try growing some of these salad greens.

I hope this gives homeowners and commercial growers ideas in what to grow in the future?

As a commercial grower I need to make my business more of a year around business instead of a
seasonal business. Also to you home owners you can try this for yourself and grow your own salad greens and also they would be organic. Growing your own salad greens as a home owner you would be proud of what you grew and you wouldn't have any recall or be afraid of what you were eating.
