Beets. Plant beets early in the season to get a full harvest of them. If you plant them later, they’ll still grow, but they’ll only give you the tops (which are still good for salads).

Arugula. The leaves of arugula are great in tons of different dishes and meals. To get the best flavor, harvest arugula when it’s about 4 inches tall.
Broccoli. There are a few different types of broccoli that you can grow in your winter garden! A great variety is Romanesco, which has a flavor and texture a bit like cauliflower!
