I'm waiting until it gets cooler before I plant my fall garden. I won't be growing indoors. Thank Kim

We do a mix of indoor gardening and some outdoor fall/winter gardening. We're back up to almost 90° this weekend, but it may cool off again next week!

That looks so good, Kim! I actually have a Tiny Tim that was a volunteer. I plan to bring it in or leave it in the greenhouse. The others I'll start soon. Take care!!

I'm still growing summer veggies in the greenhouse in MI but my griw light station will be getting a nice cleaning this weekend. I plan to start more lettuce, Asian mustard greens, tiny tomatoes, chives, Tom Thumb peas and a few herbs.

Surprise! Single digit temperatures are common here in Sylacauga Alabama-and it its the heart of the south. Zero degrees is not uncommon, and on occassion it gets as cold as -4F. Some years we get snow, some we don't, but cold weather is assured either way. Snow, no snow, and freezing temperatures don't stop me from growing a fall/winter garden. I guess that puts me in camp 4-stuborn outside gardener. Careful selection of cold hardy crops is essential. As if my garden isn't already big enough, I planted four more rised beds with cauliflower and broccoli, and added hoops to three more raised beds. 12 of 16 of my raised beds are being used for my fall garden, growing parsnips, carrots, beets, turnips, red cabbage, Swiss chard, Dutch Cabbage, Komatsuna, Tatsoi, winter choy, Nappa Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Pak Choi. That doesn't count my peppers, strawberries, and assprted herbs. The temps are back up into the mid 80s for the next three days, so shade cloth is going back on tomorrow morning. I finally have an appoinment to see a wound specialist on Monday for the rattlesnake bite. The wound has healed a lot over the last month, but threre are still a few more weeks of healing to go. Three or four more chapters and Exiles From Earth will be finished, then a review, editing, and getting it ready for release. I am also working on plotting NASTI Business (Nexus Advanced Systems Technology, Inc.). It takes more than a little snake bite to get me down. Okay, a rattlesnake bite is pretty nasty, and hurts like hell. I don't recommend getting bitten by one. It is definetely off the bucket list. Now that the weather has started cooling off, and I'm mosly healed-again, it is time to dust off the ebike and go riding. For now, I am going to stick to paved roads. 2024 hasn't been a good year for injuries, so I'll wait until next year to go back to being adventurous.

Wish I could do that but unfortunately I have seven cats living in the house and so far they've eaten every one of my house plants so I'm sure they would eat the vegetables too darn it
