No responses yetI had a splendid small summer garden and have now pulled up everything, added new compost and tilled that in with a good covering of composted lawn clippings. Now I am wanting to have something growing in that area and looking for suggestions.
Not zone 7 because that is where I am. Our winters are mild, but we still have heavy freezes at least once during winter time. It's doubtful that even zone 8 can support these crops well into winter. However, if you live in zones 9 you may be able to keep the cool weather crops throughout winter. I do know that zone 10 can for sure keep a winter garden with cool weather plants.
cool weather plants like:
Beets
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrots
Cauliflower
Chard
Chinese Cabbage
Kohlrabi
Lettuce
Mustard
Onions
Radishes
Rutabagas
Spinach
Turnips
Just to name a few.
I don't know where you are, but here is a site about fall and wintergardening in southern Cali.

garlic, kale, lettuce, radishes, leeks, cilantro, spring mix, arugula, napa cabbage, parsley, chard, chives, tarragon, sage, thyme, oregano, parsnips, carrots, spinach, beets, turnips, strawberries, charentais melons, tomatoes, zucchini and peppers.
Some things are in hoop houses and some are under row covers outside of the hoop houses
6 responses so farI’m clearly new at gardening and I’m wondering what I should do with my outdoor potted plants in the winter. Should I dig them up and throw them away or should I just leave them in the pot and move the pots to the garage so they don’t crack from the moisture? Any thoughts?
It really depends on the types of plants. If they are annuals (think pansies, vinca, petunia), you’re better off throwing them out and replacing them next season. If they’re perennials (like coneflower, daylily, hibiscus), you can either cut them back and wait for them to come back in the spring, or try putting them in the garage under a window so they get sunlight. They (perennials) may still lose foliage in the garage when they get cold, but will almost surely green back out when spring comes around again.
Dave talks with Henry Schmidt about creating planter arrangements that can withstand winter temperatures while they beautify outdoor areas of your home.

October’s Chores
Lawn
Put down lime or fertilizer early in the month.
Overseed the lawn early in the month.
Mow grass a bit lower, to a height of one inch or one and a half inches, to make getting leaves up easier.
Water Gardens
Bring in tender plants.
Purchase a heater if you want to winter over the fish.
Bulbs
Bring in tender bulbs for storage.
Plant hardy spring bulbs.
Plant garlic now.
Perennials
Cut back perennials as they die back for the season.
Tie up ornamental grasses so they stand tall for winter interest.
Trees and Shurbs
Continue to plant new plants.
Move trees and shrubs if you need to.
Do not move birch, oak, cherries, pear trees, or stone fruit till spring.
Water newly planted trees and shrubs throughout the month, especially if it’s been a dry month.
Around the Yard
Open new beds.
Weed before weeds go to seed.
Mark the areas where you’ve placed bulbs so you won’t dig them up accidentally.
Note areas where you need to put new plants for next year. Often, in the spring, we forget where these areas are.
Chop up leaves for mulch in the garden; don’t just rake them into piles on the beds.
Harden off plants that have been outside all summer and get them used to the indoors.
Other
Check your snowblower.
