For those of us currently in winter-- what new varieties are you growing this coming year?

What new things have you added to your garden for the upcoming season?

What new techniques are you trying this year?

We're in the dead of winter and I am itching to get back out into the garden... tell me what you're up to!

Thats a good idea!

I planted a winter garden and promptly forgot about it... all while still having the last of my summer plants still producing.

They're ALL sitting in my raised beds as corpses at the moment-- I'll pull them come time for the early radish/lettuce plantings.

Have you done the favas for nitrogen before or is this new for you this season?

I'm in a community garden where I've watched other people grow favas - for nitrogen and also for beans. But this is my first year doing it for myself. I'll add compost to the soil in the spring too. It's easy but also exciting. One of the gardeners in the community had snails eat all their sprouts but I got lucky with a different variety.
