Having been here, in Seattle for about 2,5 years now I am still amazed at things that I learn every day. I would never have thought that I would have a veggie garden in winter. Thanks to Seattle Tilth who taught me how to have a winter garden in this amazing maritime weather of Seattle. Winter garden means in fact that you start sowing and planting between end of July till end of October/beginning of November for your fall, winter and early spring crop.
I sowed carrots, onions, spinach, fava beans, snow peas, mustard greens, lettuce, kale, broccoli, radishes and purple sprouting broccoli, garlic and shallots. We started to eat the radishes and spinach already. Take a look!
Closest to you, in the corner is the fava beans. We still have arugula which decorates our salads.
Under the left covered area are the snow peas. I can't wait to have carrots by spring/summer. This is so much fun!!!
The best place to watch winter storms on the Oregon Coast are Pacific City, Lincoln City and Seaside.
