Put in my order for fall seeds to HPS yesterday. Bulk granex onion seeds, hybrid cabbage, brussels sprouts, parsnips and other yummy stuff. Never shop seeds while hungry for Asian stirfry stuff.
Still dithering on my garlic order from Adaptive and Southern Exposure. Dither...dither...dither. I’ll have to dither less, last time the stuff I wanted was already sold out by the time I made up my mind.
LOL. That happens to me sometimes too. What does HPS stand for?
My melons did badly - the vines seem stunted and the leaves smaller and browner than they ought - some of the vines died outright.
They were in an irrigated raised bed in a community garden. Someone else there planted melons in ground he just broke and they’re doing so much better, even with weeds all over. I wonder why.
I picked the last three melons ahead of the community groundhog and I’m planning to pull the vines and put in some fall plantings - sugar peas, beets, kale, lettuce.
Someone on this thread told me last year that although beets like growing cool, they like germinating warm, so they’re easier in the fall than the spring. We shall see.
