Put my lettuce in 2 weeks ago, already sprouted a d have 2 sets of leaves, I stopped planting spinach and use the space for beets, the greens can be continually harvested and don't bolt in the heat or go to seed, as a bonus you get nice sweet beets late summer, I also winter over my fall crop of carrots, in the ground,I picked a bunch last saturday, sweetest carrots you will ever eat, they germinate well in heat, but sweeten in the colder temps..I plant mine when I plant the fall garlic.

Getting the seed starter gadget started tomorrow. Have the paper pots, mix, and got some veggie seeds soaking to plant in tomorrow. Still looking for a half dozen quality seeds of that newly legal crop too, for fun! Thought I would get the kabash from the wife, but she said 'why not?'

Interesting idea Joe. I put in about 100 garlic, I ring my garden with them to help control some pests until I pull them, who knows if it helps. I hadn't thought to plant carrots at the same time.
Do you just plant seeds in october and mulch them like garlic? |

OK Rockfish Joe....
You mentioned garlic, still a couple weeks away for me down here...
When do you plant your fall carrots? From seed?
How about shallots?
Thoughts? |

What about harvesting your "crop"?....if you know what I mean. It is legal here in Mass. I received a clone from a client and it has been pretty fun first experience growing. Dr Who will be coming inside the garage the next two evenings as the temps are expected to dip below 40.

Put them in 3 weeks ago, I plant carrots Nd beets ever 2 weeks all summer, we eat the beat greens, they taste like spinach but are less bitter and dont bolt or go too seed in warm weather, the trick to the carrots is to get them established when its warm,they slow down considerably one it gets cold.

Thanks...
3 weeks before your garlic, I might be able to squeeze it in down in SW RI since I don't plant Garlic for another 3 weeks at least.
Now I need to find seeds.... |
