Lettuce and spinach can handle freezing temperatures just fine. Love not having to buy it at the store in the winter. Like cilantro, I wish it grew here in the summer too.

Planted seed on Oct 28. Sprouted by November 3rd. Ready to start eating by December

But Kale makes lettuce look like a fragile soap bubble. Kale handles 15 degrees and not a burnt leaf in sight!

I always grow some lettuce and cilantro in pots. A couple of years ago we were having a mild somewhat warm winter and then the cold weather hit. It killed the lettuce, so now I make sure to have some backup. Lettuce and cilantro are heirloom in that they come back true from seed. I harvest the seeds in late spring and plant again the next year. It’s a miracle really.
