Weed whacker how about shooing some of that rain this way. Powder dry here. Labor day here means a major turn around time. Summer vegetables are turned under and soil prepared for winter vegetables. Brassicas are ready to go in as soon as this dry dry heat spell subsides a bit. Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, collards and Napa transplants are siiting in their beds anxious to get going. Lettuce, pak Choi, radishes, turnips , rutabagas are itching to be planted. Of course, southern peas, butterbeans, peppers and eggplants are still going. Bell peppers in particular seem to grab a higher gear in September and really crank out until November.
