What are some late winter veggies that I could plant now in my veggie bed?

Question

I live in Northern Utah. We have somewhat harsch winters. I wonder what are some cold, late winter veggies that I could not put down in my garden bed? I had absolutley no luck this year with lettuce? Should I start them from seed than now or from plantlings? thanks.

Answer 1

Lettuce (start from seed because they don't take long to germinate. You might wait until it gets cooler because they need cool weather to germinate. That is pretty much true for all these.
spinach
kale
Peas
sugar snap peas

Answer 2

In Scotland we have much the same weather, and we plant turnip, cabbage, leeks, sprouts and broccoli for early harvesting in the late spring or early summer, some protection helps in the times of hard frost, ie. straw or bracken or even old news papers helps. Seed can be successful if you can provide some heat until they germinate, and then harden them of before putting the outside. But you will probably be better to use plantings (seedlings we call them) good luck!
