Also in your winter gardens do you mulch tarp or just let the weeds grow up around them.

But the vast majority of what we sell in winter is stuff harvested earlier like winter squash, potatoes, garlic, onions, parsnips, carrots, rutabagas, etc..

We plant in october and harvest through the beginning of January than things usually go dormant (unless we have a warm and sunny winter than they grow through the entire season). In late Feb the crops wake up again and we harvest them. By mid March most things are beginning to bolt but it is usually warm enough to start succession planting in hoop houses.
