Winter Vegetables & Noodles - Rich in vitamins and minerals, broccoli is a great choice for a home garden - especially in the colder months. Eat it raw with a dip, steam for all. Winter vegetables don't need as much water because of the moisture they get from winter rain and snow. Also, since there's less sunlight during the winter, the soil doesn't dry out as quickly. All the vegetables will shrink while baking, so don't cut them too small. The trick is growing only hearty vegetables so that they can withstand the cold temperatures as long as they don't have the snow and frost on them. Or you could grow the winter vegetables that can actually be left outside over winter (under the snow and frost) and just not have to dig through the snow to get to them. Thank you and good luck
