One of my coworkers was raving about them a while ago but I'd forgotten about it until your reminder. I got overenthusiastic with some summer pruning and killed a big water-hogging sage, so now I actually have some room for a few new veggies. My winter kale is already coming back on its own, so I've got a good start on the cool season. This will have to be the year I plant favas for the first time.

Highly amusing. I can't really think of anything to add. Besides growing things that I wouldn't buy, or having fresh greens outside my door, I think the best reason is just because I can. No snow or hard frosts attack our yards and so to show how grateful I am, I plant a winter crop. I was imagining you reading this in a kind of poetry slam, or beat poet style. Highly amusing.
