[DawnSuiter]

I've never planted in the fall... but TEG is really helping me extend my season!

In 2 weeks my 2nd crop of corn will be ready I think.. it's looking SO GOOD!!

Day before yesterday I planted as a test, half a row of each:
Carrots
Parsnips
Romaine
Iceburg
Spinach

and will plant those again in 2 weeks

SO EXCITED!!!

today i tore off three staghorn fern pieces from the big un the chicken, Ursela, is nesting in and i planted two in small square plastic pots and one in a wire hanging basket. i didnt have a coconut shell liner so i just put some of that black plastic you put down in flowerbed under mulch in the bottom of the basket to hold some mulch and leaflitter.

also i broke off some daylily proliferations and planted those in the ground. and i may plant some cypress trees i started from seeds two years ago in the ground. they are about 3-4 feet tall.

This week I planted about 2 square feet of romaine lettuce seed and about 8 square feet of Fun Jen.

Fun Jen is a leafy Chinese cabbage, if I remember right. It doesn't form a head and is just a little milder than mustard greens. It looks rather more like lettuce. It's very quick.

It needs to be quick. We seem to be having a season that's running on about 2 weeks later this year but this is more than 2 weeks later than I've planted something like this :/. Planting Fun Jen in mid-August works easily but we are now in the last full week of summer. Average first frost date will be Wednesday for where I used to live . . . about 25 miles up the valley.

Fun Jen seed can be found thru Fedco Seed if'n you want to try it sometime .
