El Nino and planting fall/winter crops

After this unusually warm summer, my gardening partners at our Giving Garden plot have been wondering how long the warm weather is going to last. While I usually plant a crop of lettuces, chard, kale and collards for the fall, I haven’t had much success growing year round. This year might be different though thanks to El Nino!

If indeed we experience a warmer fall/winter, what are you planting as your late season crops? Do you have any suggestions for a successful winter growing season?
