Fall Garden Planning Time!

[dalthauser]

This fall I'm going to do a second planting of tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and squash.

I'm also going to be putting in a permanent bed of perrenial onions and sorrell.

I'm going to try a new seed company  SOUTHERN EXPOSURE because they sell heirlooms and they offer almost everything I want (except for Mache lettuce - which Marcel wants to grow - I can get that from another source). 

Here is my planned order (still need to check with my garden partner to see if he wants to add or modify)

Bush Beans	Contender	13103	$2.15
SoyBeans	Asmara	11501	$2.50
Cucumber	Suyo Long	51701	$2.35
Garlic (1/2lb)	Inchelium Red	65102	$11.50
Shallots (12oz)	French Red	66701	$9.50
Onions (Wild)	Egyptian Walking	66604	$9.95
Swiss Chard	Rainbow	32951	$2.45
Kale	Dinosaur	25106	$2.35
Spinach	Bloomsdale Long Standing	67102	$2.10
Vetch (1/4LB)	Hairy Vetch	78203	$4.95
Sorrel	Garden Sorrel	71246	$1.99
Radish	Daikon	28201	$2.45
Radish	Misato Rose	28109	$2.45
Parsley	Italian Plain Leaf	37101	$1.99
Shipping $6.50			$66.50

Southern exposure doesn't carry a Mesculin Mix (you have to buy each variety separate), so I'll also be getting that from another source. 
Must have gourmet greens!

That's it for now :-)

I've been thinking of filling in with a cheap legume cover crop too - usually I just cover the rows with leaves, but I know planting something is better for the soil. It's just so damned hot and dry in July/Aug/Sept. I might buy a sack of black eyed peas or pinto beans from the grocery store and sow them.

I don't know of any seed exchanges in my area. I wish gardeners were more sociable - - everyone in my area who has a garden really keep to themselves.

I know! - I wish I lived out there where you were. I'd be in seventh heaven!
