What Did You Do In The Garden?

What can I plant is a great way to start! You should plant the easiest spring/fall crops you can, like:
lettuce
radishes
Definitely Brussels Sprouts (only if you love them, like me)
Peas, sugar snap peas and sweet peas
spinach
garlic
beets

If anybody still has unsold and clearanced priced onion sets, plant those, too, because they will go great in your fall salads. With your compost you will be amazed at the thick roots on all of your plants!

Nice thank you! I see your a fellow Duck lover too! Yay!

I planted mustard, lettuce and spinach today.

Trying to stay ahead on the trellising.

With DW's help, succeeding. Strings on zinnias have to be added to, today. We will get a windstorm and what half of them have right now will prove inadequate. It will only take a few minutes of tying ...

Dahlias are probably under control. Running the sprinklers on some of the varieties can break them. Of course, actually moving around amongst them means tying them up somehow and some beds now have a 3rd layer of twine.

I brought in a lot of stuff today. I have beans blanched and froze from yesterday and the ones in the picture from today, more fermenting dill pickles from cucumbers yesterday. We had BLT's for supper and fried squash. That is the last of the elderberries in the little bowl.

Looking so delish! And better than any grocery store produce.

That's why I love putting in the vegetable garden. So good!

One of the burners on the stove is messed up. I hope DH can fix it tomorrow so I can make pepper jelly. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

@Gardening with Rabbits, those are just beautiful!!!! And giving me serious pepper envy..... You did GOOD this year!!!

Picked more tomatoes, cukes, yellow squash and half runner beans and did a little pulling of weeds.

I'm watching it rain again today. I need to do some weeding. It's been so hot the last month I've gotten behind on my weeding chores.

My garden work is almost all about the harvesting at this time of year. That and keeping the soil moisture up so the plants won't burn up ...

However! I have some cilantro seed in the soil at the feet of the already harvested corn stalks. This worked well for me in 2015. I have already mentioned it on @catjac1975 's tomato thread, and I'm likely to say something about it somewhere, for a third time today! (Us cilantro lovers have to stick together on how to grow it during the heat of summer .) Problem is, I don't know quite when these things played out in 2015. Here's what I posted on October 11:

There is lots of cilantro now. The seed sown in the sweet corn rows has grown enuf to harvest.

It probably went in the ground at this time. I remember that it sprouted and just sat there in the shade. When things cooled, I cut the stalks and the cilantro grew nicely. I'd better sow some more seed in about a week ... those counter ripening tomatoes of October are beckoning from the alternate counter universe.
