Winter gardening's lots of fun here.  I really lucked out.  It's frosty 
enough for cherries to get their chill hours, and mild enough for 
parsnips, Chinese peas and fava beans to grow all winter.  Brassicas are 
popular, but they usually start in summer and finish in winter.  This 
year I really want to experiment with the Austrian field pea.  It's said 
to be perfectly edible.
