Just a reminder that your cool season vegetables are not just for spring, many also do well in the fall. Now (August) is a good time to plant a fall crop of peas, lettuce, spinach and radishes. Fall is also the best time to plant garlic for next spring!
Yay! Today I planted some lettuce and spinach seeds. This is the first year I've tried planting fall veggies(though it's only my second year trying to grow a vegetable garden). I didn't even think of peas!
How do you plant garlic? Can you just use a clove from the grocery store?
Pam - Absolutely you can plant garlic from the grocery store. We did that last year and our garlic was good. For this fall we bought some from a catalog (our local gardening centers all close in July) and will plant that when our garden is done. Then we cover with a layer of hay or straw.
