Buy winter garden seeds so next year you can have a cool weather array of produce at your house.

This page talks about how to buy winter garden seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. This list is if you live in zones 7 and higher. They will probably work in six and in the other zones they might or might not grow.

I was not going to put this page together but then I decided to. It is a list of the varieties I suggest for growing in the winter time in zone 7 or higher. They will probably grow in zone 6. Anything lower and you will have to do some homework to find out if they will grow in your zone. But because these may not, it does not mean you cannot find something that will grow in your zone. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I have chosen an heirloom where it is available on my list below. But many hybrids will grow just as good if not better.

Winter Vegetables

Beet -- Detroit Dark is the best all around beet.

Broccoli -- Waltham is my favorite.

Burdock -- Chiko

Cabbage -- Early Jersey Wakefield
