Thanks Gloria and Dale

Thanks Gloria and Dale, I didn't have roots on those but the ones that I am planting for the fall season will. I also did plant mustard but the bugs ate them before I could harvest. I have had a time with Japanese beetles this season.I am working on my garden for the fall, still having to work 10hrs and having only one off day makes getting the fall garden ready a little hard but I am doing a little at a time so I can have some more greens, radishes, and hopefully get to try my mustard instead of the bugs eating them. Anyway Thank ya'll for the compliments. Happy Gardening, Kat

Hello Grannyrose

Hello Grannyrose,

              I am doing a fall garden for the first time too! I am excited about it. I didn't know that you could grow kale in a winter garden. I have to add that one to my list too. I also love any type of greens. My father use to grow a garden every year, and that is where I would always be found out in the okra patch with the garden hose and a tomato and a cuke. I was like peter rabbit cause as soon as dad would catch me he would chase me out. Hee Hee I was a little stinker when it came to my dad's garden. Well I will chat with you later. Happy Gardening, Kat.

Turnips

Good work Kat! Did you have any roots? Those are the best all mixed together with the greens and stewed up. You might also want to try growing mustard greens. They grow fast and are best after a frost hits them.

Is that Mesclun mix? I adore that stuff....baby lettuces that are most tender and sweet......The trouble with growing them here in Texas is that it gets so hot so quickly and most greens like that aren't amenable to hot weather -- or whether as hot as we get....97 is our average this time of year. I suppose I could grow that all winter, or inside.
