Hi,
I like your nice simple list for January! I’ve been trying to find one like it for my school garden. I have 7 raised beds. The largest was planted with broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower. Any suggestion for what to plant in that bed. I really want to avoid problems with bugs. Thanks! I really like your blog!

@Christy,
Well, this time of year you might be able to get away with adding some lettuce as long as you get a fast growing type and dont start it from seed! Also, stuff like onions and garlic are great to start this time of year but beware of what you put them near!
