Get Busy!



Time has a way of slipping up on me!
According to the UGA calendar for
Vegetable Planting in our area,
we need to put some things in the ground!
(Pictured is early "fall garden" 6 toms,
3 bells, 1 eggplant, sweet potatoes)

As of today, I've not seen any veggie transplants for fall.
Go ahead, look at this list, make your
own list and you will be ready to buy when transplants come in.

Also, check out Johnny's Select Seeds, Seeds of Change,
and Kitchen Garden online. Lowe's on Peach Orchard Rd.
carries a variety of seeds--lettuce, beets, carrots,radish...

Seeds to Buy
beets
carrot
cucumber & squash(no later than 8/31)
lettuce
radish
spinach
turnips
chard
chinese cabbage

Transplants
broccoli
cauliflower
cabbage
collards
kale
mustard greens


Experiment with this list. Check the veggies you like. One source states that 6-12 broccoli plants will be enough for a family. I am starting with 6 plants.

We love beets, I've ordered "golden" beets and regular "red" beets from Johnny's. Play with different varieties of the veggies to add color to your plate this fall/winter!

Here is my list from Johnny's Select Seeds. I wait patiently by the mailbox!
golden beets, ruby red chard, easter egg radish, mokum carrot, de cicco broccoli,
bonsai pak choi, gypsy broccoli
Get Busy!
Blessings from the Garden.
