Sounds like your little garden has been quite the success and although I know there are winter veggies that can be grown, I don't know many that go to the trouble in the cold. I can only imagine that can be quite rewarding in the dead of winter though, to be able to have something fresh to eat right out of your own yard.
My Dad loved gardening and always had a good one as I was growing up. We ate all the fresh beans and corn and tomatoes and etc we could in the summer and Mom and Dad froze and canned the excess. Tending a big garden takes quite a bit of time and work, but with 5 children, it sure did come in handy that Dad loved doing it. The bad thing is, it spoiled us to be use to the good food and caused anything from the market, frozen or canned to taste inferior. LOL....
Good luck on your winter garden.
It's a bit different here Jacey, our winters are mild, here in Adelaide at least. Days of 12-21 degrees Celsius and nights of 2-12 degrees Celsius. No snow. Other parts of the country get cooler, but not by much. It allows for a winter crop mostly.
I've been really happy with my garden and it's been enjoyable to be gardening again (veggies). My parents did so, (I grew up in a small rural town) and I used to help and whilst I'm a little space-limited it's brought back a lot of good memories.
Well.... if it never gets too cold, that is certainly more understandable.
For part of my life, there was a big field a distance behind our yard. Power lines crossed it, so nothing else could be done there. My Dad asked and the "powers that be" said a garden would be fine there, so that is where Dad's garden flourished. I wonder now if we are all radiated from eating food from under there. LOL... oh well... it sure did taste good !
