This looks like it would be good winter greens for my guinea pigs.

Do you need row covers for it in zone 6b? The tricky thing about this kind of temperate climate is that there are enough waves of mild weather in winter to melt away snow cover, so even in Jan-Feb you have intermittent snow cover, but it can still get quite cold (-10C to -20C or -10F to 10F). So that means potentially exposure to some pretty hard freezes without insulating snow. I've also lived in zone 3a, and while it gets colder there (often -30C or -30F), you'll have a blanket of snow establishing itself well before it gets that cold, usually in November, and the snow just persists and accumulates. In April, it often warms up faster than the snow can melt, so by the time the snow finally melts, you won't get much bitterly intense cold anymore.

Row covers are definitely a safer bet if the snow isn't consistent!

I tried to grow this a couple times in Zone 6b. Not very successful. They grow very slow. But I think I accidentally succeeded. The few that grew went to seed last year. I went out to the garden today (Feb 23, 2020) and there are a ton of gorgeous little plants. It's a carpet. Leaving it to do its own thing seems to have worked. I'll harvest a portion and allow the rest to go to seed so I don't have to think about it. It's a better gardener than me.

It's amazing how well plants do when we let them take control! I'm in 6b too, and yes, the timing is one of the hardest things to get right. But if you let them self seed like that they'll pick their ideal time to grow! Just a heads up that if you do let them form a carpet they wont grow to full size. You'll want to thin them out so that they're spaced out a few inches apart so that they have room to keep growing :)

When did you start yours? I'm in 6b too and just started my first succession ever. Hopefully soil isn't too warm to germinate, I think it's right around 70F which seems to be the cut-off. Our average temps (high/low) are - September: 69F/59F October: 58F/47F November: 47F/38F December: 37F/29F January: 34F/20F February: 34F/20F March: 41F/30F April: 50F/39F May: 62F/49F June: 73F/60F July: 79F/67F August: 77F/66F So June to mid-September is probably too warm but rest is hopefully ok?
