Any success growing fall/winter vegetables

[JerryCarr]

Sweet potatoes, carrots, and turnips have done fine for me year round. Just make sure your soil is deep enough and not too rocky. We built low rock walls on top of the pahoehoe lava filled in with trucked in soil. We also have made a lot of soil by composting household vegetative waste, weeds, and cleared undergrowth and then mixing the compost with cinders.

Malabar spinach tastes pretty mucy like regular spinach, but it has a thicker leaf, so the texture is different.

Cheers,
Jerry
