I've learned a bit about winter gardening that I plan to implement next year. I've learned that even though I successively sowed my lettuce, I still had too much at once. There IS such a thing as too much bok choy. I found that beets and turnips didn't do well at all, so I think I'll skip them next year. The chard started out slow but has been a good crop overall (except for the part the slugs ate). I started my sugar snap peas and other peas in November and that is just right...February peas are wonderful, and we have a good amount. Carrots planted in October are good too, though I need to plant MORE of them. I had too many open spots in my bed, so I need to try some more things. I may have to try broccoli this fall. It's too late to get started now. Maybe some onions and garlic or even shallots. I need to keep the beds a bit more full with more variety.
I have my summer seedlings started. We'll be growing a lot of pepper varieties this year. All but my Joe E. Parker seedlings have germinated, which is better than last years germination rate. I'm starting cukes from seed in the beds this year too, as well as the summer squash.
We'll also be trying a whole bed of corn this year (Ruby Queen and Ambrosia) and a few bush Sugar Baby watermelons. We had good luck with the watermelons last year, not so much with the cantaloupe.
