So, what does the middle of summer mean for a gardener? It means it's time to obsessively plan for the next season!
My current seed collection. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, two types of kale, kohlrabi, snow peas, sugar snap peas, fava beans, three types of carrots, radishes, chard, multiple types of lettuce, fennel. (Also pictured- some zucchini for next summer, and some hubbard squash.)
The chart above is a tentative layout of the wee patch. I am trying to keep a center aisle open so I can squeeze in there, since the patch is just a leeeetle too wide to comfortably reach into the center from the edges.
I don't have any fennel or broccoli typed in up there. I will have some pots empty for the broccoli, not sure where to put the fennel. The lettuce will get grown in a rubbermade container- the ones that slide under beds work great for salad greens.
The plan is to start some of the seeds inside in August, to get them outside by the end of september. The rest will be direct sowed outside september or october. I have never grown fava beans, snow peas, carrots, radishes. I can't wait to see how everything goes. Hopefully better than the garden so far, considering the only things growing well are the cucs and the okra!
