Fall Succession Planting ...

To keep the garden productive into fall we have be planting successions of different varieties.

Lettuce and salad mixes have been ongoing all season. We have replanted about six times so far. The goal is to always have more salad coming up.

We have done about five successions of radishes as well. Cauliflower we have planted as three successions and two of broccoli. This also allows some variety in what we can offer to the customer. So we may have cauliflower in the box for two weeks followed by cabbage the next time.

In spring we planted patchoy and spinach, as they enjoy the cooler weather.
I may have done so too early, as we are getting some hot summer days now, but yesterday I planted some patchoy seedlings.



We have also planted one of the beds in onions, two varieties a red onion and Walla Walla onions. The plan is to cover the bed with plastic hoops over winter, just to keep excessive rain off, so the onions don't rot and perhaps raise the temparature a bit. In spring we should be able to harvest onions for our early season box. Well, that's the plan, anyway.
