Here we have shorter days in the winter, which is why we grow Vidalia onions rather than longer day onions. But, our fall and winter doesn't have the constant overcast that winters up north are prone too. We generally only get one or two snow days and folks goes crazy. But, even in winter our humidity is higher. Never have been able to grow carrots.

This year I am trying several cabbages, a wide range of oriental vegetables, American and Italian Brassicas, leeks, and Yellow Granex onions. A lot of this will be nestled in or covered in straw when the real cold comes. Some seed is already sprouting for fall, but a second batch will be planted eight weeks before the first frost. Here that is normally October 20, but VERY variable.
