Hello, @phoenixwren

Yes we can garden in winter - there are some crops that do better in winter than in summer. Like peas and fava beans and the brassicas - broccoli and cauliflower. There are about three or four months in the year when we wouldn't plant anything: February because it's too hot and dry, and then July into August - few seeds will germinate because the soil temperature is too low. It is good, though for planting trees and shrubs and some seedlings. Work in the garden is never done.... ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
