Does anyone grow a vegetable garden?

I like growing a big vegetable garden. Even though it is past the main growing season I still wanted to grow stuff. This will be my first try at a fall/winter garden. I am also new at growing in Mississippi. Last year I did well with tomatoes and other summer stuff. Now we will see how I do with cold weather plants.

So far I have planted lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. In a couple weeks I will plant sweet onions. The plan is that these will be done in time for me to plant tomatoes in the spring.

Mark,
When Judy and I got married, I put a vegetable garden along the side of the creek. In Norfolk, that is seasonal, as the winter kills most annuals.
Next year I put winter crops in, like kale, spinach, cabbage.
It wasn't worth the work for the winter crops, so I built a greenhouse on the south side of the house. You look into it from the living room and dining room. That was nice. I thought it would be al I needed plant-wise.
Then I built a shop along the creek where the garden was. So, I landscaped the entire grounds extensively. Now I have 100's of ornamental plants surrounding the property, a pond, and the deck rails are covered in orchids, succulents and night blooming cactus.
Yesterday I put all the non-hardy plants in the greenhouse for the winter. It is supposed to drop to 33° tomorrow night with a chance of flurries.
Beware of what you start.

Next trip to Gulfport, Judy and I will have to drop by and say hello.

Nice looking garden there!
Hard to make a winter garden here (roughly the same growing zone as Stacy). Nothing better than fresh garden veggies, and you have the climate for it there looks like.

It is supposed to drop to about 30f the next couple nights. So we will see what happens. I know the lettuce will be ok. There are 2 tomato plants that I will cover.
