Anyone put in a winter garden? How did it do?

I just planted Serrano pepper seeds in small starter pots. Will keep indoors for 6 weeks and then re plant into larger pots outdoors in late March.
I need to plant some yellow rose bushes in the front yard to replace some dead ones. Is there a hardy variety you would recommend?

I still have broccoli, spinach, green onions, and carrots going strong
I actually just seeded a second crop of carrots
will probably plant a second crop of broccoli soon as well

This was some of my tomato harvest from about a month ago.
This was my makeshift greenhouse w/ a heater. The cold finally got the tomato plant.
Also have a harvest of asparagus I may eat tonight.
Harvested a little bit of broccoli and have a cauliflower head coming up. Have harvested off my cilantro, mint, basil and parsely all winter.
My seedlings for the spring.

Great looking stuff. I assume you have a compost pile. I learned my lesson last Feb. about starting seeds with my compost indoors. There are bugs. Started them with a bag of clean soil today and then will use my compost for outdoor planting.

Yep.....a cedar bin I built.

Yep. I used 2 year old compost.

Yellow roses: look at Antique Rose Eporium online....there is a lovely variety called Mermaid, but it gets huge. Climbs, too. ARE website will have lots of varieties appropriate for the south.
No winter garden, but I tilled and turned the raised beds to get ready for spring. Worked in compost and 2" of green stuff (mowed over clover from rest of yard). Gonna plant next week.

What's something low maintenance to start growing?

Herbs like oregano, mint (keep it in a container as it spreads like the measles at disney land), basil, parsley and thyme are really easy. Kale, cabbage, snap peas/ sugar peas, onions....and asparagus. But I dont know how asparagus does in south La. Does great here in Dallas. Its perennial so comes back every year. I have it planted along my back fence and just water it once a week and fertilize every 3 or 4 weeks.

Easy to grow: radishes from seed, chives, Rosemary, black eyed or purple hull peas. Low maintenance and gardening do not go together, though.

I have the shittiest turnip green patch this side of the Cumberland.

Too damn cold this year in Arkansas.
I started a kale and beet patch in late October in hopes of winter greens, but the early winter freeze was brutal. We had a week plus in November where temps were well below freezing, even during the day. Then, we had a December where the sun came out for a total of 3 days out of 22.
Kale is still alive, but growing uber slow.
I'm hoping for an epic spring, last year I practically had a greens and beet farm.

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for behind my black iron fence.
