I'm planting carrots, and spinach, and maybe some cabbage, and I've already got my winter squash in.
later I'll plant some lettuce.
My carrots are in a large container and will come inside when it frosts. I will be planting some spinach and another round of lettuce, though. My Butternut Squash will be harvesting in a couple of weeks!!!!!
I don't do cabbage, crappy worms.
If anyone is planting seeds just remember to plant them 1 1/2 to 2 times deeper in the fall than in the spring. Remember the ground is warmer and the soil dryer in the fall so you want to protect the seeds.
Turnips, radishes, onions (seeds, sets or plants), lettuce (head and leaf), cukes and beats as well as those listed above all make great fall crops!!
I'm planting broccoli and cauliflower,cabbage,carrots lettuce and mustard greens,may try a late planting of cucumbers just tohave fresh ones since our weather has been much cooler than normal this year.
May also do a second of green beans,and squash.
Not quite ready for fall planting around here. Tomatoes have all died off from the heat - planting a batch of "heat wave" tomatoes next week. Third round of radishes, second round of onions and carrots too. Cauliflower and broccolli failed miserably this year. This fall I want to try my hand at some green beans.
How about collards? I was thinking of planting some. Question- Over at the old house I have a dozen or so collards that were planted last fall, they flowered this summer. Is there anything i can do with them?
I've never transplanted collards but I don't see why you couldn't. They are pretty hardy, like kale. Just make certain you get a good root ball and then water them well when you transplant them and trim back some leaves. Remember the leaves feed the roots and the roots provide water for the leaves. If you mess up the root ball then you have to remove some leaves to compensate.
You are far enough south that they should grow all winter. They may choose to work on rebuilding the root base instead of leaves but that shouldn't be a problem.
Touch base with your county extension office. They will know, I'm sure.
Thanks Rick I beleive I'll try and move'em. Were still getting some tomatoes the peppers are growing awfuly slow this year as compared to recent years, maybe too much rain?
My sweet bananas are doing well. I have some Chinese Giants that are just now coming on. Mango type peppers generally mature later than the bananas.
OK I am going to have a look at whats left from the spring planting and I'll know what to plan for. I got really flustered with it this year as the grass took over and in the midst of trying to get started right my mower was stolen. Maybe we can still have some luck with it.
Sure you can. You don't have to have anything elaborate either. A small plot to get you through the fall will work then you can build whatever you want next spring. You can even put it in containers if you want to.
I want a garden so bad. I just haven't figured out how to grow anything where the stupid ground squirrels wont eat it. They killed the grass!!!!!!!!! I would seriously have to go underground with chicken wire and then go all the way around and on top and well, that is a huge hassel, and not to mention kind of expensive.
Well I would like to plant carrots, strawberries, tomatoes, and uh, to much else to mention.
We planted another patch of green beans today plus 2 rows of onions. Tomorrow we plan to plant mustard greens and turnips.
I have vowed never to plant beans again.Quote:

I came to this epiphany this spring after my entire crop failed from a combination of those three pests. Meanwhile I looked over and my spinach was doing great, no pest damage at all, and the groundhog didn't even eat it. And I like spinach (and I dare say, it is better for you, not that beans are bad, but spinach is spinach).
I'm jealous of those planting broccoli now, I couldn't. Not enough time left here. The cauliflower and brussel sprouts I planted in late April still aren't close.
Then there is Crash who can garden pretty much year round huh?
Chris,cabbage,broccoli and cauliflower are cooler weather plants,so here I can plant them early spring,then again in the fall.I planted my garden late this year,and with the wacky (cool)weather we had, the cauliflower grew to gigantisaurous size,usualy use 2 heads for a meal around here,but only used one of those monsters.
Ya, just one state length south but you've got much nicer weather.
Yup,this year,I can not complain about the weather,much more rain,and much cooler temps.
So far this July,we have not had a 90+ degree day,this is the first July not to see that temp since they started keeping records.I have worn a light jacket almost every morning the passed couple of week,I love it!
so far we have decided to plant carrots,broccoli,cabbage,cauliflower, and another round of squash, Im wanting to do some more green beans but not sure yet.
You might think about runner beans. They are similar to green beans but have really pretty flowers that are usually two colors. The beans can get nearly a foot long. I planted them for the first time this year.
never heard of them till now , I will have to look into that.
