Fall Planting

We had a pretty darn good harvest this summer, despite the intense heat and lack of rain. I would only water when it was desperate though. Can't stand the thought of the water bills skyrocketing for produce.
The biggest disappointment was the green beans. They just didn't produce well, nor did I particularly like the variety that I'd chosen. (It looked good on the seed package!) The tomatoes did well--or rather one of them did. The others seemed to be the favorites of the pests. So I had lots of romas and nothing else. Guess I'll be making lots of sauce this winter, which is fine by me

But now I've done a fall planting of carrots, peas, spinach, lettuces, radishes, kale, swiss chard, brussels sprouts and beets. The okra is still producing well and since we just had a great rain last night (the first in ages), I expect that things will improve even more soon.
I think of all the things we got out of our garden this year, the greens were our favorites. Being able to go out and pick the spinach and lettuce and, with a quick rinse, have a fresh salad was amazing.
