Fall Crops Are Here!
As we begin to transition to fall and winter crops, summer crops will remain for several months. This is due to location. If you are in a warm climate with a mild fall and winter, you can likely grow summer crops throughout the year. There may be a down period with low/no production, but the plants will be stronger for the upcoming spring.
If you prefer to grow brassicas, such as broccoli and cauliflower, then this is the time to grow those. Cabbages, Brussels sprouts, and kohlrabi will also be available. The fall is the best time to grow lettuces and greens, so we will have plenty of those.
What has been planted as of 10/6/20: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Puntoverde cauliflower, Kalettes (New!), Kohlrabi
