I planted some in a cold frame last fall. It has survived near zero temperatures. I can't imagine how. It doesn't grow much in such cold weather but I have had an occasional salad all winter.

I had to laugh at Amanda's comment on finding your tools--every year I find something when I turn the compost heap, and just yesterday it was a pair of glasses (lost last week) and a trowel (who knows what vintage). Horticultural archaeology. The spinach is officially in, but there was so much frost in the ground where the peas are to go I’ll have to wait a little longer on that score.

Sounds good ! I just did some spring cleaning and discovered my gardening tools. It has been winter so long I have forgotten about the spring. Thank goodness it is around the corner !
