Fall Planting
It's November 6th and I'm just getting the fall garden started. Late as usual.
I have some transplants that I started from seed in August that needed to go into the garden last month but they never quite got into the ground. Some fell and were damaged and the ones that did survive have been in the small pots and cells so long they are stunted. But since I try not to go to the nursery to buy transplants I'll use these and hopefully a few will survive.
In this garden you can't really see much in the photo.
In the upper left there is a tomato that was a volunteer from another part of the yard. I have no idea what the variety might be because I had never grown tomatoes in that area before so I'm not sure where that seed came from. I'm pretty sure that whatever the variety is it's not one that will appreciate the fact that I'll be trying to make it grow during the winter.
In the upper right is a Cherry tomato that is on its last leg and will get pulled out within the next few weeks or however long it wants to hang around since I'm not hurting for space right now.
In about the center of the picture is a Oregon Spring V tomato. I'll really wanted to try this variety out as a winter tomato, but it is so small you can't even see it in the picture. I don't think this one has much of a chance to survive.
To the left of that is an Early Golden Acre cabbage. That one should have a chance.
