Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Jak3  My Weather Posted on Sunday, November 04, 2007 - 03:43 pm EST :    I plant garlic in the fall, usually at Canadian Thanksgiving but later this year because it is still (!) relatively warm; I then mulch with leaves about 6" deep until Spring. All of my other veggie areas lie fallow until Spring - I plant stuff like carrots, peppers, tomatoes....so nothing winters over. Maybe a few herbs - hopefully sage, parsley, thyme, oregano - but I don't do anything to them to encourage their survival....

My herbs are left to their own devices. My rocket just keeps going and that will get a mulch in the Spring. My little vege patch is left fallow with a spread of manure on top ready for next years crop. Growit - Hampshire, Zone "8/9"
