Growing Chili Peppers or Other Gardening in the Fall and Winter

Soil Preparation

Winter is the perfect  opportunity to prepare your soil for the spring planting. Try growing cover crops, like clover, vetch or rye if you are in the proper climate. They will help improve soil quality, can fix nitrogen in the soil, and will add organic material to the soil for the spring growing season. Plant these "green manures" in the fall.
