Winter Gardening

I am too embarrassed to show a picture of what my garden looked like after the first blight.  Basically, the tomato plants turned brown, the basil turned black, and all the peppers shriveled up.  Zone 7 winters just aren't conducive to most leafy plants.

So what can you grow?

PARSLEY!

One is better than none.

I guess my winter cooking is going to have a ton of fresh parsley.  We've had two little snowstorms, so it's gotten as cold as it's going to get here in Maryland.  I'm still designing the garden for 2013 and I'll be keeping in mind the plants that will live through the winter next time around. 

Mmm parsley.
