No one is perfect and I will be the first to admit it. Here are our winter garden failures.
- Onion sets. Most rotted in the ground.
- Perennial peanut experiment. They want full sun and did not work as a ground cover in the shade of taller plants.
- Cardboard as a ground cover. The cardboard took off the first good wind we had even though it was thoroughly anchored with landscape pins.
- Spinach, beet greens and swiss chard. Planted this five times and it never worked. I did feel better when I saw it at Lowes and it looked just as bad as in my garden.
- Melons and cucumbers (until now). They grew a few inches then stopped.
