I am really enjoying this fall. It is the middle of December and it is still sunny out and mid 60's and some say a chance of hitting 70 this weekend. I really think that some of the summer veg's could easily continue till the end of the year with protection, but with slow growth. I really have enjoyed the little I have grown this fall. Enough Lettuce that we eat almost daily going on now for 2 or 3 months, and I haven't done much to tend to it. Some of it is a bit bitter, but I'm thinking some fertilizer through out its growth could help with that.
Some of the other things I'm growing, but are much slower are Broccoli and spinach. I just kind of took a few Broccoli starts and planted them. I would say To grow a lot more of these, especially as the cost in the grocery stories are up about $2.50 for a not so big head of broccoli.
The Spinach is a lot slower than lettuce, but it also shrinks when cooked. So even though this kind of food is relatively cheap in the frozen foods, I could see them being worth while just because of the little tending it needs.
