Sweetness -- and freshness -- in winter

The New York Times' Anne Raver, our favorite garden writer because she actually gardens right here in Maryland, writes about winter greens and why they taste so sweet in the Times.

To do so, she visits Even' Star Organic Farm in Lexington Park, Md.

For those of you new to vegetable gardening -- and who don't want this season to end -- Raver makes yet another good case for planting fall crops.

Or finding somebody's fall crop you can purchase.

Not ready just yet to think about the coming of winter. Thank you for the nice post. Still having fresh vegetables is a good thing.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
