I am so enjoying summer veggies week that I wish it could go on for longer!

The party will continue in the Vegetables Forum!

I agree, Rita -- considering summer has barely gotten started here...

Summer needs to be longer. Of course it would if I moved more south but that is not gonna happen.

don't forget...we still have fall veggie and late fall veggie weeks coming later in the year!

I am not too sure what the difference between fall veggies and late fall veggies will be but I guess I will find out when those weeks roll around. For me fall or maybe it would be late fall veggies would be a second crop of certain types of things one planted in the spring. You know like fall peas and midsummer planted root crops that are ready by fall.

Fall veggies is focused on greens, brassicas, etc. Things like spinach, lettuce, broccoli, and so forth. The kinds of things you would plant to grow in the fall and even into the winter.

Corn salad (aka mache) ! Chard ! Rutabagas !

LOL, fall feels like it might be coming sooner rather than later here...

So then late fall veggies would be things like pumpkins and winter squashes?

On Rutabagas.

My swiss chard I have always planted in the spring. That is in years I got around to planting it at all.

I love broccoli, I should probably try that as a fall crop. I even have seeds right now.

I just started a new hugel bed today for my fall greens. Pics to show up in the permaculture forum soon.
