Autumn Garden

The summer evenings are dropping into the 60s, and the days are getting shorter. Time to start thinking about an autumn garden! In my neck of the woods, I can grow leafy greens, root veg & lettuce into December.

This year I'm hoping to have an autumn bounty for my holiday dinners, so I'm planting:

Radicchio Lacinato Kale Red Russian Kale Turnips Carrots Parsnips Red Freckle Lettuce Endive Golden Chard

Mid-October I'll also do a bit of scratching in the garden. It will be garlic planting time. I'm thinking about trying shallots as well. Any advice? What are you planting in the garden this autumn?
