maybe two months of farming and gardening activities before winter starts to bite us again.

I just finished buying my fall seeds and am now planning my late summer and fall plantings!

Cole crops like broccoli, broccoli raab, cabbage, brussels sprouts. Bok choy and spinach and beets. Lettuce. And best of all, garlic.

The cabbage family doesn't make it through the growing season unless I station myself or the dog in the garden to discourage moose. Last time I tried brussels sprouts and cauliflower, which is great when fresh-picked, I went out with sack and knife and found bare ground where just hours before the crop was just right and ready. Clipped off at ground level--all of it.
