last gasp harvest
Report from a late summer garden (in the southern hemisphere):
Harvest and planting for winter.
My area in Australia is mild enough that cool-weather leafy greens do pretty well over winter, so long as you protect them from frost.
I know most of you equatorially-north folks are just getting into planting times for your gardens - what do you plan to grow this year (and how's that coming along), and is there anything new you're going to try this growing season?
Speaking for myself, I'm trying to grow: cabbage, cauliflower, bok-choy, raab broccoli (I've never had luck with regular broccoli), rocket, brussel sprouts, onions (both the ones you use the leaf stalk and the ones you store the bulb), carrots, parsnips, sugarbeet, and the usual run of beetroot (which I have finally worked out how to cook: bake in individual wrappings of foil, and then after 40 mins, put a dob of butter on top and bake for another 40 mins).

True! :) I stole some actual seaweed from the beach during the Sydney heatwave in February, and it's still making seaweed brew for me. But I also have bottles of seasol which I really should use up...
Ooh, enjoy the gardens! Living in Sydney, it's a bit far for me to get to their gardens, but if I ever make it down there, I'm definitely going to check it OUT!
