What to plant?
I pulled out my garlic and onions. I have tomatoes, bell peppers and hot peppers growing but lots of empty space. I'm wondering what are good things to plant now?

Re: What to plant?
Hi Mrs. Miller,
I would start by finding out when your first frost of the fall is, then make a list of what you want to eat, and then see if you have enough time to grow that vegetable.
Also consider plants that may be cold tolerant, like collards, kohlrabi, turnips, late potatoes etc.
myfolia.com has some good information about plants and their growing needs.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: What to plant?
Hi, Mrs. Miller, and
I am looking at onion for some green onions, spinach, lettuces and carrots. Later, will put in some radishes and more lettuce. Might have time for beets. Swiss Chard us also a good producer into Fall"

You know, I have never grown kale, Imsawxsomecseeds, maybe I will give it a try. Any advice on cultivars?

Re: What to plant?
Russian and curly kale are the only 2 I have grown. They over winter beautifully here to the point that I was giving it away like others give away zucchini!
Re: What to plant?
Oops! I saw some seeds....of kale. Is there a difference texture or flavor-wise?

Re: What to plant?
It's a matter of preference. I like curly kale to chop up in soups or stir fry. I like the flatter Russian kale sauteed. Right is Rainbow chard, middle the feathery Russian kale, back left the curly kale. 
One of the harvests: curly kale in the front, rainbow chard in the middle and Russian kale in the back.

That looks great, sanderson -- both the set-up and the results.

Yes, I see the grass. Aren't they making green grass illegal now in California? 
That Russian Kale looks like the same kind I'm growing. Very fragrant and so incredibly tough -- grows summer and winter, repels bugs, takes a brutal and careless transplanting and cutting-back and comes back strong ... I'm just really impressed by that plant.

Re: What to plant?
I may give it a go, as far as kale. I love Swiss chard, and have a mess of beet greens to fix in my fridge.

I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
