You might try copying some of the succession planting tips you find from the NW. We're not that far off when it comes to winter temperatures. Also, I've got a page on my website entitled <a href="http://plantedathome.com/growing/right-plant-right-place/" rel="nofollow">Right Plant, Right Place</a> that outlines some tricks for maximizing the harvest in any garden. Good luck, and keep trolling the internet waves - I'll bet there's someone in your neck of the woods with the answers! Hi Sara,

I am attempting to feed my large family of 7, so far, with a small garden. I have only box gardens, totalling about 100 sq ft. I live in Virginia in zone 7. I know I could get a lot more out of my gardens with the relatively long growing season we have. I just have had a hard time finding information on succession planting in this area. Seems like all the info is on the Pacific Northwest. I also get all confused as to how to best rotate my crops in the beds I have. Do you have any suggestions as to good books or other resources to address succession planting in my area?

I found that the seeds were somewhat slow to germinate but once they started they were the tortoise of the winter vegetable garden...slow and steady all through Nov., Dec., Jan., and Feb. until things warmed up in March and they quickly grew and wanted to flower or "bolt". Really, I didn't even have them in my coldframe until late January or Feb. when I built it over the bed these plants were already growing in! Maybe you'll have quicker germination if they're covered. Enjoy! I highly recommend a light lemon juice and olive oil vinaigrette Hi John, I think you’ll love the tender “sweet” flavor of mache.
