Is anyone else planting a fall garden? And in particular with the grocery budget in mind? This has been in the back of my mind as I plan what to plant, and how much. So far for this fall, I've planted:
-Beets
-more Swiss chard (my other plants have produced all summer and are still going (just two of them, but they make a LOT of food for us and the chickens!)
-Leeks
-Sweet potatoes were planted in July, with a couple of sprouted storebought ones added in late July--not expecting a huge crop with the number I have but hopefully a few meals' worth
-Potatoes--dog dug up this area and I'd just about given up hope, but now see about 5 plants coming so far
-fall green beans--not doing well at all--still too hot, I think. I might try again if I can figure out a good way to cover them
-carrots
-sugar snaps (more than usual)
-more summer squash and zucchini (hoping they will grow for another crop)
Inside, I have started:
-3 types of lettuce
-2 types of cabbage
-2 types of cauliflower (purple and regular)
-Romanesco broccoli
-Nasturtiums (more for fun and pest control, but I love that they can be used on salads and are edible)
-kale
-chives
Still hoping and planning to plant:
Brussels sprouts
Turnips
Spinach
Bok Choy
Radishes
More cabbages
More lettuces
More beets
Anyone else?
