Yes, you can grow veggies all year

Posted at 6:15 am by Debra Smith

Year-round gardening: You can grow vegetables in the fall and winter in Western Washington, even if you don’t have a greenhouse.

With the exception of vegetable starts you find in some nurseries or hardy greens such as kale, it’s a little late to start fall and winter gardening. It’s not too early to bone up on the subject and plan for next year.

Territorial Seed Co. produces a special catalog for fall and winter gardening that you can order for free by calling 800-626-0866. The catalog includes a planting chart and information on how to grow fall and winter vegetables. Seattle Tilth produces a book on the basics, called “The Maritime Northwest Garden Guide.” It costs $14.95.

Other resources:

The Westside Gardenerprovides dates to sow different seed crops and helpful tips.

WSU Extension provides some good information on individual crops. And here's some fanstastic information from Oregon State University.

Good old Ed Hume provides some basic information that serves as a nice over view at his Web site.
