Cold-tolerant veggies and flowers

  • By CompiledSuman Bandrapalli

Gardening doesn't have to stop when summer ends. Kale, parsnips, rutabagas, salsify, and spinach will survive hard freezes. Vegetables that survive frost but not hard freezes include beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, lettuce, onions, peas, radishes, and turnips. Cold-tolerant flowers are dame's rocket, forget-me-nots, foxglove, hollyhock, lupines, and pansies.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
