I've been eating sweet red peppers all winter that have been growing in my driveway. The driveway has the best sun in my yard, so I made some raised beds there and covered them with a mini-hoop house to over-winter the peppers, which I started from heirloom seeds last August. You can see the mini-hoop house here: http://www.cfhdesignstudio.com/whatsnew.html Rainbarrels for watering, to the left.

Also, currently growing in the garden from seed:

collards, arugula, cress, chard, snow peas, and tom thumb peas, oregano, sage, yarrow,and anise hyssop

Seeds just started:

tomato, serrano pepper, mint, basil, onion, carrot, radish, marigold

Edible perennials already planted:

fig, banana, limequat, self fertile apple, sumac, wild blueberries, ginger

Cover crops sown:

clover and alfalfa

Good info. and I like Mcleod on your site. I know a few people who bought property in '04 and '05 without fully thinking about the buildable area. There will be a neighborhood full of those 15 x 20's in Inlet Beach.

Great website for information on growing citrus and other fruit trees in zone 8B (where we are) --

wwwjustfruitsandexotics.com

Each kind of fruit tree has its own information page -- how to plant, fertilize, etc.

Amazing nursery, very knowledgeable staff, worth a road trip in spring or fall if you're going to plant a number of trees and shrubs; they will also ship at certain times of year. They're in Crawfordville, near Sopchoppy. They even make and sell their own custom blends of slow release plant food for different types of fruits.
