Laurie, what is the weather like in Western Washington? Rumor has it that it is very hot and dry. But you seem able to grow stuff quite well.

We are back to our more normal cloudy and cooler weather but the plants are still going wonderfully well. Tallest plants I have ever had with the hot sunny beginning.

I guess my 'fall crop' planting will be confined to greens of various sorts. Will still start peas indoors next spring but will plant a second crop much sooner than this year. Same with most everything else. Now that I know what seems to grow well I will just cycle that stuff through. Haven't tried eggplant but heard it needs quite a lot of heat. While you, Linda, can plant and replant our season is very short and intense so I have to be patient on some stuff. I do have tomatoes this year thanks to the weather but don't know if they will vine ripen. Heard I could take them in and hang they up (the entire plant) to let them ripen indoors when it gets colder outside.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
