My dad and I were talking recently, and he threw me the idea he and my mom have been throwing around to buy a farm and do a veggie co-op. This sort of thing is right up my dad's alley, because there is not a plant anywhere that wouldn't grow for my dad. His thumb is so green, it….well, it's really green.

I joked with him that he just wanted to take winter off, and that's why he wants to do this. He then told me there are several vegetables you can grow in the winter, and he'd probably be trying it. So, I asked the internet whether you could grow vegetables in the winter and found this link to be really fascinating. Guess Dad won't be taking the winter off after all.
