Michelle W. Flannery said… - Hi Clark. I saw your post on Mid-Atlantic Gardeners. I suggest you check out KGI member Tamra Stallings' page. She lives in Tennessee, but is very knowledgable about growing in any climate zone. I read one of her comments to someone about the same issue you have - when to plant. She said winter crops should reach maturity by Nov 1 (harvest date can be much later). She says when to plant is easy. Just look at days to maturity and count backwards from Nov 1. Do check out her page, and her website. Tamra knows so much about gardening, and she grows a large variety of winter crops that might peak your interest. I know I'm inspired to put more than cabbage and collards in my winter garden next year. My greenhouse is doing good. I'm still getting tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, bell peppers, and lettuce in abundance.
By the way, I used to live in your neck of the woods. As a young child I lived in Springfield, VA - I laugh and tell people that was when being in Springfield was living in the country. Later, my family lived in Woodbridge. My father was in the Army, stationed at Fort Belvoir. We left the area in 1968, about 2 years after Dale City was built. I used to fish at Burke Lake with my father, and I rememer visits to Lorton in the fall. I was enchanted by a little winding road up a hilly climb, and many colorful trees and the leaves ankle thick in places. We visited Falls Church too.
It's nice pulling out these old memories and thinking about such things.
You've got a really nice garden there - well planned and well laid out. Looks like you've got room to grow if you want to!

Maggie said… - I love your photos. The strawberry patch looks great.
I have no idea what VA stands for . As most of KGI members live in the USA maybe someone could add a gardening climate map of the States with a list of the States and there abbreviation. Then readers from outside the Us could follow the discussions.
