Fall gardens....

I started my broccoli seed yesterday. I bought some lettuce and kale seed too. I want to start some cabbage seeds too but I’ve never planted any fall cabbage. Anybody have any recommendations on a good tasting fall variety?

Alot of old folks around here really like savoy cabbage for some reason. You moght try some bok choy.

I've planted Savoy before. I did like it. Bugs were bad on it IIRC. Never tried any bok choy but I'll check it out.

The heat is hard on the Chinese cabbages.

Thanks for the info Maggie

Spinosad is what I've been spraying for bugs this summer. Thuricide is good for worms.

Whatever you plant, you're gonna have to keep the bugs off somehow someway.

A good patch of rutabagas can't be beat. Let it frost on the greens and they are better than kale, turnips and all the rest of the greens. When the roots get big enough just cut them up and mix them in.

Collards and turnup greens

This and a pumpkin row...i got sum gourds planted that'll be ready by fall tho 🤣 hopefully they growing sloooow

Turnips and mustard are one of our main crops for fall. You gotta spray them from the time they germinate til the day they hit the stove.

JB, I normally plant my gourds in the spring as early as possible. It takes a long season for them to grow a good thick shell

How do you cook your gourds? I like mine grilled 🤣

Prolly whatever the grocery store has. Be way fo dry here.

Never tried that... I fry mine 😃

Got my fall garden in today just before a good rain. Cabbage x 12, collards x 12, cauliflower x 6, broccoli x 6, 1/2row of turnips, 1/2row of kale, 1/3row of carrots, 1/3row of romaine lettuce, 1/3row of radishes. Just a little room left should we see something else wed like to plant. Put 200lb pelletized lime on my fall garden spot about 3weeks ago and disked it in good, curious to see how it compares to last year.

I put in cabbage and broccoli about a week or so ago, am still getting late okra I planted and hot peppers. Yanked the late green beans yesterday and will put greens in soon. Just been sooooooo hot and dry here. Yuck.

I have Turnips Purple Top and a Hybrid Turnip I have never planted before $10.00 a scoop Mustard Greens, Sweet Peas, Broccoli, cabbage, Celery

But what do you spray Turnips with ?

Just too dry here. I'm gonna pass on planting a fall garden this year.

this is the only acceptable thing to grow at our house I can eat greens and butter beans with every meal too bad butter beans dont grow in the winter.

I didn’t plant anything either

Be glad you didnt. Ive watered 3 times a week and what didnt burn up anyhow looks like crap.

I yanked the okra and peppers, reworked the beds and have butter crunch lettuce, Georgia collards, mustards and turnip greens; all in addition to the broccoli and cabbage I put in earlier. Done planting now & having to water.

Cabbage doing fair if one eyed cat keep rabbits gone

Can y’all guess what happened to the corn AGAIN!!!

I had some pretty good looking collards ive been watering trying to keep alive till it started raining again. We got some rain, collards started growing like crazy then my guinneas decided they like eating collards, ruined nearly all of them. Easy come easy go.

Crop circle gone haywire?

Oh man! The hazards of gardening!!
