Seeds on the way. I can buy green onions locally but figured I'd try growing some anyway. The ones at the store always have an abundance of wilty green tops. I have some Napa cabbage seeds here and will chuck a few of those in the ground but I can buy Napa at walmart. Green onion seeds were on sale. Free shipping and they're here in MO so always get here quick.

The Daikon is something I can't get and is not something you'd buy online and have shipped. I know red radishes grow fine here. Don't expect Daikon to get to full size in my heavy soil but a good fluffy raised bed will help. Found the Korean Red Pepper flakes(coarse powder) on ebay cheaper than amazon.

Fall Planting spreadsheet has Chinese Cabbage(transplant) 8/24/25 -- Daikon(direct sow) 8/25/25. Add 2-3 weeks per layer of cover, tunnel/row cover. Won't be hard to make hoops to go over a raised bed. Guess I'll start cabbage seeds today. No date given for green onions but they're 40-50 days and hardy.

Couple of months and I might be able to make Kimchi which I'm evidently using as an excuse to grow something. ;)

I hate food shopping here. Just looked at the grocery ads and all three stores have the exact same things on sale. Hardly ever see an Arm Roast but all three have them on sale this week. All three have t-bone on sale. All three have hothouse cucumbers on sale. Pork steaks, all three. Ground chuck, all three. All are the same &*$@) price for the same &*$@) things. It's like a cruel conspiracy. Evidently, there's only one grocery store supplier out here.

Gochujang Korean Pepper seeds on the way. Won’t need until next year but it’s a small family farm, not a big seed supplier so who knows when they’ll run out. Even Baker Creek and Johnny’s run out of things. One other thing I can grow for kimchi is carrots. For Fall, they should have been direct sown 8/5/25, plus 4-6 weeks for two layers of protection. 2-4 weeks ago. Got a free seed packet of Koral carrots a while back from Baker Creek.
