What plants are good for fall and winter?
Fall and winter gardens produce some of our favorite fruits and vegetables: kale, cauliflower, peas, carrots, lettuce, beets, onions, and broccoli, just to name a few! To boot, these plants tend to be some of the easiest to grow, making fall and winter gardens excellent for the beginning gardener. Cauliflower, broccoli, kale, chives, garlic, leeks, onions, peppers, beets or any member or the onion family. Friendly garden neighbors: carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, parsnip, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.
What plants are good for outside all year round?
Evergreen flowering perennials will keep their green foliage all year, long after the blooming season is over. Many herbs are particularly known for being great practical flowering plants with evergreen foliage, such as Lavender, Rosemary, and Salvia, among others. For plants that will keep their leaves or flowers all winter, consider violas or pansies, which can tolerate temperatures into the low 20s while blooming, and evergreen shrubs like boxwoods, holly, and juniper.
