I live in Austin, TX, so we don't get too many freezes during the winter. Are there any vegetables that I can plant now that will survive the winter? I started my first garden last spring and most of the things died due to the drought, but I still have the area and would like to keep using it.
I've read that onions can survive the winter. When is the best time for me to plant them?

Here's a planting schedule for you in zone 8:

you can be planting cool weather crops now--lettuce, spinach, peas, carrots, broccoli, swiss chard, onions, garlic, cabbage, kale, etc. All of those should pretty much make it through the winter where you are, I would think.
