Fall Garden
We planted a small fall garden for the first time this year. We had an excellent showing from our broccoli plants and lettuce. The carrot seeds we used were a few years old and didn’t produce much, and we’re still waiting on the few that grew.
We’ve had so much broccoli the past few weeks that we’ve been enjoying dishes like beef and broccoli stir fry, chicken with broccoli cheese and rice, and of course, broccoli as a side dish.
Our lettuce and spinach really came along well. I let some of them go too long without harvesting, and some of the early frosts “burned” the edges of some before we covered them, but they still taste great!

Is this using that square foot method again? I’m definitely impressed.
And intrigued.

Yummy! We weren’t fortunate enough to get a fall garden going this year. Last year, our fall garden was amazing. Although, our carrots didn’t do so hot either. I think we planted them too low.
I miss the fresh lettuce and yummy broccoli. We still have a little frozen broccoli, but it just isn’t the same when its fresh!
Thanks for sharing!

We are thinking we are going to do a spring Garden but have never done one before. What is a good way to get started?
