This is my first attempt to have a fall garden. Usually I wait too late to plant anything much for fall but this last week I pulled out zucchini and yellow squash and onions and made room for quite a bit for fall.
Planted peas, snow peas, we shall see if this works out.
Collards from seed transplanted to the beds.
Carrots and parsnips, parsnips take 120 days to make so maybe they will get a little cold weather and be perfect for Thanksgiving.
Crisphead lettuce should do well from seed.
Both my Spanish and american arugula seed has started from my sowing 2 weeks ago and I know that will last until the first frost.
Mustard, spinach and cabbage set out from nursery starts and they are doing well.
From early August planting, I have golden beets growing nicely, although they have some sort of leaf miner doing some damage. Will have to see what controls those little pests.
The broccoli from seed sown in the beginning of August is growing well, no heads yet, but the plants look better than my earlier nursery sets that were attacked and basically destroyed by aphids.
The trombocini squash is still free from leaf wilt and virus and producing one a week, so that is still my star for the year, that and garlic.
Great weather may give us some ripe tomatoes, we have had some from the one plant in a black pot on the patio the rest are green, looking good but far from ripe....we shall see.
