Black Seeded Simpson, Galactic and Winter Marvel lettuces are doing well for me. Spinach wintered well, Swiss chard is so-so and beet greens were good until a couple of weeks ago. Red Russian kale and Tatsoi are still going. No snails yet - 2' of snow tends to keep them in check.

What are your favorite, and most successful varieties of winter greens
for winter greenhouse production? My UNheated space utilizes hoop houses
inside the larger greenhouse.

My lettuces are thriving, but slow-growing. Winter marvel seems very
cold and freeze resistant. Red sails, Cracoviensis, and Oakleafs are
doing OK.

Mizuna is working well, the bok choy fair, other brassicas like kale and
collards are getting heavy snail predation (treating with light dustings
of hardwood ash, though beer traps and picking may be necessary).
