I’ve got parsnips and carrots growing, and some newish turnips in now. I just planted a couple of burdock as a test to see how they weather the winter, how the yield is, and whether they can be dug out well enough that they don’t become annoying. I don’t want more burs.
I just planted the new row of fennel, but there are only 10 plants that survived drying out during my trip to MN in August. I hope they’ll survive the slugs of autumn.
I just scheduled planting time for garlic and fava beans, which I’ve been growing successfully for a few years now. For some reason, I didn’t note when I planted favas last fall. This is really annoying, because I planted them on three different dates, and the last ones I planted did much better than the others. So much for records.
I still need to figure out when to plant shallots. I did that last fall, but again there don’t seem to be any records of when I planted things after the Europe trip last year.
Outside of the front yard food garden, I just planted a bunch of herbs that I rooted from cuttings into a new part of the yard, and moved a mysterious Ribes into the gardens by the alley. I planted some Asphodel back there too. I’m excited to see what these plants do, as I’ve never grown them before.
