What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

Steve,

I have never grown kohlrabi, but want t just because it looks so cool!

How do you prepare it , as in a recipe?

Recipe, Beavis?

No recipe, just sliced thinly in a salad.

Kohlrabi is something that Dad will eat like an apple! I'm not that inclined . I will say that it is a good deal milder than a turnip . . . or, some radishes, for that matter.

Speaking of which, my radish seed pods are really handy for snacking in the garden at the moment .

That great news Steve,

For some reason I thought they had to be cooked,

but if I can eat them straight out of the garden, woo hoo!

If you like the taste of raw cabbage you'll enjoy them. They're nice shredded in a salad. They originally came from the area around Poland and there are some great polish recipes for them.

Just got the aerogarden setup and got green beans inside of it.

Bush bean type? How big is that thing?

It just says green beans on the box and on the side it says "Green bean seeds - Untreated non-GMO. Its not too big. It fits on my entertainment center. I will get some pics to show you how big it is once my cell phone charges LOL

ok got pics. The first one I am comparing it to hydrogen peroxide

That looks interesting. Have you used it before? I've seen them in magazines, and have wondered how well they work.

Getting in some of my fall crops: beets, snow peas, garlic, more green beans, and Brussel's sprouts (not sure if I have enough time for those, but we'll see what happens).

Nope. This is my first time. You can look up "Aerogarden reviews" on google. If you go on craigslist you can find one for around $30 or so

Here is a good review site... http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/383547

I am planting beets, carrots, radish, onion, and lettuce. I will be planting them in the squares between my dying tomato plants. It will finally be down in the lower 70's this week as night time lows. Need those lows for these things to survive.

I did plant 5 new tomatoes last month. They are just now starting to flower and are looking great.

We pulled the corn stalks (which I froze over 250 ears), we plowed the plot and I'm planting collards, turnips, and beets in that patch after Labor Day. My grandmother says not til after Labor Day or they'll burn up.
