Time To Garden Autumn 2019

So somewhat of an amusing story:  The haiku posted at on Monday was actually written the previous Sunday (had to move it, editorial reasons).  Sure enough, between then and this week we had a cold front blow in - we went from the mid-90'F to the mid-50's.   So even so I still have my sweet potatoes and okra hanging on,  Winter, it seems, really is coming. 

So my "I have plenty of time to plant my Autumn/Winter garden" has morphed into "I had better plant my garden next week".

Here is the bulk of this year's latter plantings:


This year's foray into the possible include spinach, lettuce and two kinds of beets, Saffron plants (which are really crocuses - who knew?), Egyptian Walking Onions, and Rye.  Not pictured here are garlic (the eternal), barley, onions, and leeks.  As always, we will see what grows and what fails.

A side comment: as I was digging through my seeds I realized that these are some of the last of my Bountiful Gardens Seeds.  SowTrue Seeds has been an amazing replacement - still, it makes me a little sad to see the end of the seed packets of my first adventures in gardening.

    Thanks Deb! We are always looking for a new variety to try - and I do like polenta!

    Thanks Linda. Given my relative lack of skills, I will take all the luck I can get!
