Rutabaga, parsnips, and Russian Kale are also fabulous mild winter crops. The roots are improved with a light frost. I lived in the mid Atlantic US for many years -- also has mild winters many years -- and would harvest these right out of the snow. As long as the ground doesn't freeze hard, they will grow the whole winterThe growing season is a bit odd here. Because we get mild winters in the South West the growing season runs into winter with the right crops. It's what you grow when and the effort one puts into keeping up with the seasons. Last year a couple of plots down they had brussel sprouts growing right through the winter.
