Winter greenhouse plants for ap system?

[Eleven11]

It's winter here and the grow beds in my new system are almost ready so I called around for seedlings and not surprisingly, there are none out there at this time of year. Too bad there are no neighborhood AP'ers that I could borrow some plants from. I'd return them of course

So, I'm going seed hunting now.

I'm wondering what the rest of you grow in the winter time.

I have some Campari Tomato seeds to try.

I'd like to get some seed for salad veggies like, romaine lettuce, raddishes, carrots, cucumbers, etc.

This is one of those questions that would be esasier to answer 'if' we knew where abouts your located.....'?' You might add at least the state your in, to your profile.

I doubt your located in FL......Yesterday, I walked through Lowes' outdoor section and they had lots of veggie plants...

Contact your local extension office, for help on what to grow in your area....and 'when'.

I'm here in lovely wet and soggy Maryland where it rains, rains, rains, then it rains again... oh did I mention the rain? .... better than snow though I guess...

The Lowes' here has Christmas trees and house plants. Plenty of veggie seeds though...

I have Kale, cabbage, cucumbers, beans, luffa, lettuce, peppers, and even tome tomatoes outdoors still. However, what you can plant now may be limited to nothing for your area. I imagine it's pretty cold up there. Call your extension and ask them what's good to plant in your specific area. They will know definitively.

Ok, I'll see what I can find out.

Thanks guys

P.S. Here's a link to the Kelp Meal I was talking about:

Neat. Good luck! Mind sharing what the extension said (if you talked to them)? I am curious that's all.

[Eleven11]

I didn't get an answer when I called so I sent an email but didnt get a reply... maybe due to the holidays.

Experience is the best teacher... I'll find out myself.

So far I'm impressed with how quick they started sprouting.
