I'm 150 miles NW of the Twin Cities.

I have some spots in the garden that aren't planted - About 8 little sections with about 6 to 8 feet of row. What are some ideas of what I can plant? Lettuce, radishes, kohlrabi, I know those can be planted in a few weeks. I think it's too late for rutabegas. Thanks!!

Have you ever looked up one of the many Zone 4 planting guides available on the web? I linked one below. It is a general planting guides but most find ti helpful.

If you aren't comfortable with it then narrow your zone down to 4a or 4b and Google for '4a (or b) garden planting guide'.

Root crops are better than other crops. I have harvested carrots in December and January (nicely mulched after the first freeze).
