Hi Buck,

Today, we planted radishes, mixed lettuces, beets, turnips, spinach and
mixed greens.  I want to plant kale and carrots.  I think it's cool
enough that the lettuce will germinate.  Should have planted turnips
July 26 or thereabouts, but forgot to.  If I had planned ahead better,
it would be a good time to plant cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower
plants.  A lot of stuff you would ordinarily plant in early spring can
be planted now.  I'm thinking about planting some pea seed.  We're in
north central MO, so you should have better luck with fall crops than we
will.

The weather has sure been weird (not complaining at all) this summer.  I
am
somewhat new to all of this.  What are you planting Marie?  I have
garden
space but being a transplant from Arizona, I don't know what does well
here
this time of year.
