Having a thriving vegetable garden doesn't have to end in fall. With a little bit of prep and know-how you can grow vegetables well into the winter months or even all year round if you live in a warmer climate. But wherever you live, there are a few hero crops that will withstand cooler temperatures, frost, and sometimes even snow.
Familiarizing yourself with the limitations of your growing zone is a crucial step as this will help you narrow your choice when considering what to grow in a vegetable garden in December. Frost is actually beneficial to the taste of some cool-season vegetables, as they become sweeter and more delicious because they produce extra sugars.
