Which other greenhouses on the market allow you to sit, pot, plant, entertain or teach a classroom like this? Our standard bench topped raised beds add comfort while students learn how food is grown, such as in this greenhouse just built for students at rural Anton Chico School in New Mexico.

Winter gardening is amazing for enjoying fresh root vegetables such as beets, carrots and parsnips. They make incredible salads. Enjoy the warmth of a greenhouse while harvesting your next meal.

Why Garden During Winter Months?
There are several good reasons for having a fall/winter garden. Produce that is harvested tend to have sweeter flavors and crisper textures. The elongated growing season better prepares the soil for spring crops. Personally, I enjoy being surrounded by green in New Mexico this time of year. Our Mud Hub Greenhouse is thriving as you can see.
People inquire about what to grow this time of year. In our garden in Santa Fe, we have an assortment, as outlined below. Keep in mind, when photos were taken the outside temperature was below freezing. The air in the greenhouse, with no heat added, was nearly 40F on a cloudy snowy day.
Garlic:
This is one of my favorites and so easy and sustainable. Planted around this time of year with the pointed side of a clove up and an inch down into the soil, this herb will yield exponentially by mid-summer for consumption with prepared dishes or for replanting by breaking apart bulbs.
Swiss Chard:
A great leafy vegetable, chard will not only survive the winter but produce for a couple of years as it is a biennial plant. This is fantastic in soups.
Kale:
Kale especially loves the cold to a point. Some early leaves will die off, but a second crop will come up more cold tolerant. What’s nice about it is it keeps coming back after some are harvested. This plant is especially prolific in late winter and early spring. Can’t make enough of those kale chips!
Spinach/Bibb Lettuce:
These two are a must, at least for me and the bibb lettuce especially is flourishing. By spring, we won’t know what to do with it all.
Carrots/Parsnips/Beets:
These root vegetables are favorites because they have “overwintered” for us into February, when we typically harvest. One caveat though, if you wait too long to seed, the growth will be slower because of the cooler weather, but they will not die.
Brussel Sprouts:
Our Brussel sprout plants are thriving and won’t be long for the harvest. They take a while but seem to agree with the colder weather.
Tomatoes?:
Believe it or not, some tomatoes seeds have volunteered from the summer crop and we have several plants, with small fruit in our greenhouse. We’ll see how that goes as time goes on.
If you don’t have a cold frame or a covered greenhouse, you can compensate by covering planted areas with straw, fall leaves and mulch with frost proof blankets. Don’t expect rapid growth if you are thinking of direct seeding outdoors in a protected environment. Be patient, rewards will come. You don’t need to water as frequently as in the warmer weather when evaporation is greater. Your soil should feel spongy, not saturated. Enjoy the green refuge during winter months.

Going “international” for the first time, Mud Hub Greenhouses had the pleasure and honor of providing a 24’ x 40’ greenhouse gardening kit for Amigo Fiel, located in Juarez, Mexico.

Amigo Fiel or “Faithful Friend” is a foster home founded by Carlos Garcia and his wife over 20 years ago. Its central purposes are to provide food, shelter and clothing for children of broken families, give them a safe and secure setting to learn and prepare for life. Providing a community garden is one of the educational opportunities available.

The community garden began with the hopes of not only providing children with healthy foods to eat but also to give community members a project to work on collectively. A wish is for the community garden to be something the children can contribute to and be proud of. By working together in the garden, children are learning the value of community, sharing, and patience, along with basics in agricultural learning.

Hey Growers, with the weather trying to decide whether to be winter or spring you know what most of us experience…. High winds! Wind is great for kites but not plants. It speeds up evaporation, can cause structural damage to stems and blow unwanted seeds into your gardens.
If you are planting outdoors early and under cover it is important to protect your fragile seedlings. After experimenting with other methods to keep poly film covers to stay put on our greenhouses, we found incorporating ratchet straps to be the best solution, as our Mud Hub Greenhouse owners can attest. This is the same security used by truck drivers to tie down loads as they drive at interstate highway speeds with or against strong winds.
Each strap length has a working load limit of 3,333 pounds, a break strength of 10,000 pounds, and a webbing break strength of 12,000 pounds. This means no more raining greenhouse covers along with the hail and snow. At Mud Hub Greenhouses, we try to solve problems that keep plants from thriving. @gardening

Winter Gardening
Having just added a second greenhouse of my own, recently, and filled the raised beds with composted organic matter, I decided to experiment with it a bit. So, I buttoned the unit up well and sowed seeds near the last of November, something I had never tried to do before.
In the past, I started a fall garden around September and hoped for the best through the winter. Some crops like carrots, beets and chard made it, others didn’t. At 7000’ in Santa Fe, NM, fall comes early, and snow begins in November at the latest. So, this was a small risk to see what would happen this late in the year. And, oh yes, there is no heater in the unit, only a 6-mil polyethylene cover.
I hung a new thermometer inside the greenhouse to get an idea of the temperature differential between the air outside and inside the greenhouse. On the day I took the photos, it was 30F degrees on an overcast snowy day. Amazingly, beets had propagated and burst through the soil, as did several garlics. In keeping the fresh soil moist, perhaps additional heat was generated to help the growth process. I must add that the outdoor temperature has been averaging around 24F.
The point is, don’t be afraid to experiment. Crops can be grown in the winter, within reason. All areas have microclimates, some of which defy what is recommended on seed packets or certain climate zones. Don’t expect tomatoes to thrive in the winter, but do try some of the hardier leaf greens and root varieties.
