Now is the perfect time to plant overwintering vegetables. Plants like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and beets can be set out now.  They will grow rapidly in the autumn and then slow down as winter approaches.  When the days start to lengthen the plants will start to mature.  January King cabbage, as the name implies, is ready to harvest in January.  A variety of cauliflowers will head up in January and depending on the variety will continue to mature through early May.  Purple sprouting broccoli will become huge plants, sometimes close to three feet in height, that will be covered with small heads of tender broccoli in late February and March. 

We have a full selection of winter and overwintering vegetables in the nursery now.  So stop by and pick up a selection for harvesting when most peoples gardens and bare.
