This Grows All Winter, Needs No Care, and Beats Store Bought Greens

What if I told you there is a green that grows through snow? It needs no greenhouse, no row cover, no protection at all. While your garden sits frozen and bare, this plant pushes tender leaves through the cold when nothing else survives. For more than a century, it kept miners alive through brutal winters when scurvy killed their companions one by one. Then we forgot it. We replaced it with plastic clamshells shipped from over a thousand miles away. But beneath the frost, in the darkest months, something still grows. It is called miner’s lettuce, and almost no one notices it anymore. Picture January. The garden is silent. Frost grips the soil. Every lettuce you planted in spring has long since rotted. The spinach bolted months ago. The kale stands brittle and bitter after weeks of freezing nights. This is the season when most gardeners surrender. They close the gate, cover the beds, and resign themselves to months of grocery store produce wrapped in plastic, shipped from distant farms they will never see. But what if the garden did not have to end?
