I’m in Upstate New York - today I am going to pull the garlic that I planted last October...i might try to sneak in some plants for a Fall harvest (my first ever) once I get that garlic up!

I'm getting prepared for the fall growing season which can easily last 3 to 4 months here in N. Central Texas (August-November) with some cold protection. Our first frosts normally don't come until late November to early December.

Summer is impossible, unless you like Okra, which can seem to take a lot of heat.

When I say heat, I mean lingering, persistent, burning heat. Like the sensation on your face when you open your oven door. Our highs have been in the low- to mid-hundreds, and the heat lingers late into the night. By 11:30 p.m. it's still been around 95 degrees and our lows only make it to the low 80's.
