3 reasons to grow your own organic produce this winter
When do you think about growing your own veggies? Do you think beyond summer tomatoes? Here are some reasons to get into the garden this month and beyond to extend the bounty:
- Growing your own veggies and herbs makes sense. You can grow orgainic produce for a fraction of the supermarket cost and save on gas with fewer trips to the store.
- In West Texas we have an opportunity to keep growing all winter long. The cooler temperatures of the fall/winter/spring months increases the sugar content produced in the plant.
- If you plant this winter, try Kale, Cabbage, broccoli, salad greens, spinach in a slightly protected area with grow web around it. The following herbs can grow directly outdoors: Rosemary, thyme, parsely, and sage. Begin transplanting onions and garlic as well, and harvest the stalks for chives.
