Contrary to popular belief, there are many plants and vegetables that thrive at this time of the year. Winter also offers the chance to take a long hard look at your garden and make the necessary changes to improve its structure.
Ghetto gardener, Ludwe Qamata from Site C in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, says that while winter can be a challenging time of year for most food growers, root veggies including carrots, beetroots, and onions are foods that thrive in the winter season. This is especially ideal if you are living on the Cape Flats.
