I've been trying to find the time to add another post, it hasn't been easy! All the summer crops are still coming in, planting fall crops plus i also teach and have had workshops to do, it's been a bit busy lately. If you haven't planted your fall crops yet, you should get a move on! At this point in the season (at least if you live in the northeast) you should put plants into the ground, not seeds. I planted lots of seeds awhile ago; shown in this photo is chard and baby bok choy behind it. Late planted dill and cucumbers behind that, late as in once my garlic was out, so it's way too late to plant cucumbers now. I'll actually be surprised if i get many as it's cooling off fast here. But, my lettuce, spinach, chard, pak choy and baby bok choy are doing really well. If it starts getting too cold, too fast, i'll put my hoops up and a row cover to protect my crops. These are cold lovers though so i'm not too worried about that, yet.
