Grow 52 Weeks of Fresh Greens

Grow greens year-round

Greens have been all the rage for the past decade and for excellent reason.

Greens are packed with nutrition, vitamins and minerals and many have a great amount of protein. I’m not here to convince you of all the nutritional benefits that greens have but to help you have a fresh or preserved supply year-round. Greens are easy to grow, offer excellent dollar value and can be sown multiple times a year which makes them the perfect crop to learn year-round growing techniques.

Grow Greens Year-Round

Can you really grow greens year-round?

Yes, you can Grow fresh greens year-round!

Baby greens not only offer excellent dollar value but are ready to harvest in 30 days, micro greens and sprouts within a week or two. They are perfect for growing year-round because unlike many other crops, they can be harvested at multiple life stages. This means that even if your head lettuce or your collard greens didn’t grow to the full-sized potential, you can still harvest your leafy crops instead of wasting space. This makes a huge difference in timing because crops that take a long time to grow like root veggies or winter cabbages can be challenging for beginners venturing into year-round gardening.

You’d be surprised at how many greens can be harvested in frosts and even snow!

I’ve had our kale and winter cabbages unprotected down to -10C/4F. With the help of season extenders you can protect many greens down to -20C/-4F because there are many that are frost hardy and some can even withstand minor snow. This allows year-round possibility with season extenders in colder climates. For the climates that get really cold or heavy snow you can easily grow baby or microgreens inside.

There are also many techniques to grow fresh greens

Important tips for success

One of the key elements to master when growing greens year-round is succession planting.

This means sowing multiple times a year for consistent frequent harvests and requires smart garden planning and good organization.

Because no one wants to deal with 30 heads of lettuce or too many greens to freeze all at once.

Growing greens year-round is also easier when you learn the many ways to increase yields in small spaces.

  1. My next food garden will be planted in Central America. The coastal areas are too warm for most greens, but I have been advised to plant Italian basil, moringa (the young leaves can be eaten in a salad) and collard greens. Suggestions are most welcome!

    • What a different climate to grow in!
      Some of the greens that can handle warmer temperatures without bolting are: Malabar spinach, new zealand spinach and sweet potato greens (yes you can eat the greens!).

  2. Lots of good information, would have been so much more useful if the name of the herb was listed beside the picture of the plant.
