Post 15 | Planting in November
You may think, that just because it is November, that your garden is just a bald patch of dirt until next Spring - nay nay.
Living here in Western Washington allow us to winter over some vegetables and even plant some all the way up to mid November. The fact is, we rarely get temperature low enough long enough, or prolonged snowfalls that prevent some seeds from germinating or at least surviving through much of the fall. Many plants will even ride out the winter in your garden, preserving the for harvest throughout January and February.
Think of it like nature’s refrigerator.
Here are some examples and, if you would like to know more, visit the WSU site. https://extension.wsu.edu/snohomish/fall-and-winter-vegetable-gardens-for-western-washington/
Garlic: divide and plant bulbs in late October through November for harvest in the spring
Shallots: divide and plant bulbs in late October through November for harvest in the spring
Peas and Snap or Snow peas: plant in November for a June harvest
Lamb’s Lettuce: Plant in early November for an early spring harvest
Keep in mind, growth will be much slower at lower temps. Yield should not be affected.
Let me know how these suggestions work for you! Post what your garden looks like.
