Marie,
We've already planted our fall broccoli and cauliflower crops. We have
cabbage and brussels sprouts ready to go out, but we are having water issues
in this 111 degree heat, so we are holding off on transplanting those. We've
planted pumpkins, and winter squashes as well. We'll do a fall planting of
green beans soon and I continue to plant summer squash and cucumbers about
every 3 weeks as well. We do fall tomatoes also. I'm planning on lettuce for
fall too, but I'm not sure when this heat will let up enough to get it going.
We've tried sugar snap peas in the fall for several years now, and they don't
work for us. I think our soil temperatures are too high when we need to be
seeding.
Right now, we are in survival mode. We are trying desperately to keep
everything alive and praying for some rain.
One thing we did different this year, with good results: we planted acorn and
butternut squash along with our regular summer squash. We had the first pick
on butternuts Friday and took 31 to market. We sold them all. It surprised
me. I really didn't expect anyone to buy winter squash this time of year, but
they did. We had a lot of people asking for spaghetti squash as well. I wish
I had planted a lot more. I'll learn. Someday, I'll learn!
