Today we have been looking at vegetables  and fruit that  will be good in winter these are what i chose 
Carrot 
Onion 
strawberries
 pea's
beetroot
garlic

best environment to grow the fruit and vegetables 
Carrot:

Planting Carrots. Plant your carrots in rows that are 1 to 2 feet apart is the best way how to grow carrots. Seeds should be planted about a ½ inch deep and 1 to 2 inches apart.
Onion:
When planting onion sets, don't bury them more than 1 inch under the soil. For sets or transplants, space plants 4 to 5 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Add mulch between the rows of onions

Strawberries:
While they are able to be grown in most soil conditions,strawberries prefer a sandy loam that is deep and contains very high amounts of organic matter. Extra compost, peat moss, and some sand or grit can be added to your selected site to create the best environment for growing strawberries.

Pea's:Sow seeds outdoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last spring frost date, when soil temperatures reach at least 45°F (7°C). ...Plant seeds 1 inch deep (slightly deeper if soil tends to dry out quickly) and about 2 inches apart.

Beetroot:
Beetroot prefers cool to warm climates. It needs at least four hours of full sun a day and grows best at the base of larger plants like capsicum and tomatoes or anywhere you've just grown leafy greens like lettuce and spinach.

Garlic:
Garlic is best planted in mid-autumn.See our tips on both planting and harvesting garlic. It's so easy to grow—and frost-tolerant, too! Garlic cloves from grocery stores are often old and mushy. It's so simply to plant your own cloves.
