Fall Garden - the Plan

Field 1 – Legumes

nothing in it – old herb spot

× Sept plant pole beans– 6” for new bean plant in that soil use a bean inoculant (ie PEACEFUL)- spray monthly with kelp, mulch frequently (do not replant in this place for three years)

×Dec plant peas

Field 3 – Fall roots

empty right now save an eggplant that doesn’t look like it will make it – looks like

×Green or multiplying onions will be planted here Sept – May

Get seeds at end of summer, grow indoors to transplant

6-8” apart (184) recommend planting 12 which we obviously don’t have space for

× Carrots if have space – plant in early September and water twice a day for a week or two. By seeds – 2” apart

55 days to harvest; mulch any roots coming out of soil,

Field 2 – Lettuce, Tom Cabbage

currently has summer squash which should be harvested in Sept!?

×Lettuces – winter density variety if they have; butterleaf, swiss chard not technically in lettuce family – wait until full day temp drops to at least 85 degrees consistently (later in fall) -176 by seeds in soil

×Arugula plant in Sept (159) – space 4”

×Horseradish – buy a root at least 6 in long with some leaves attached in a supermarket in the fall (sept-oct)

Field 4 –peppers

all chili’s – annual and will stay planted unless we have problems

If have room in November: parsley and cilantro

×Add garlic in late fall

Spacing 6” need top of soft phosphate buy bulbs at store, plant in cool weather of late fall
