Let's waste no more time...let's get planting for the fall. Although I haven't personally been to the garden centers to check availability, I have been told there are some transplants available. This includes broccoli, cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, and cauliflower. Go get them and get them planted. it's not too late to start your own transplants but you'll have to get them in the ground real soon, you can transplant as soon as you get to the second leaf stage (about 2 weeks).
Today I planted the last crop of summer squash, it won't be as productive as earlier in the summer but we will make a nice crop with fewer pest problems. The biggest problem will be powdery mildew but I'll use a fungicide spray to combat the mildew.
I also planted the last crop of beans that I know will make a crop without fear of frost. Although I'll plant another crop of beans in 10 days, that crop may or may not make a beans depending on Mother Nature. (Hopefully she'll be nice to me!)
I set out a bed of broccoli today. The last broccoli transplants will go into the garden in about 10 days.
Peas are on my to do list tomorrow, as are onion sets for green onions. I'll plant peas twice to lengthen the harvest window. And let's not forget the greens, yesterday I transplanted lettuce into the hydroponics but you may plant lettuce anytime. I'll also plant arugula tomorrow and if you want spinach plant it now. Collards and kale can be planted any time also.
We survived the summer, August is almost gone so it's once again a pleasure to get out into the garden. Go play in the dirt!!
