jmg wrote: ↑01 Nov 2022, 17:26 Anybody growing fall/cold weather crops? We've always done a big summer garden, but this is my first time try anything in the fall and/or winter. I really should have done more homework. However, I've currently got the very beginnings of kale, turnips, radishes, and cabbage coming up. We'll see.

I waited a little too late, I thought, to plant seeds. So I bought small already-started plants at a local feed store/nursery, and planted them last week. Mustard, collards, turnips and kale. They're in a raised bed; I'm letting my tilled ground rest this fall, and will turn it over in early spring next year.

Hopefully will have mustard greens ready for Thanksgiving.

I should have built more raised beds and just planted in them. That said, however, I did sew about 10 lbs of crimson clover seed as a cover crop on the area of my garden that isn’t being used…which is about 70% of it.This should put some good nitrogen back in the soil.

Good idea. I've seen plenty of the red clover in spring, but not in fall and winter, but I don't know why it wouldn't be a good fall plant. I wonder if oats or rye grass would do the same thing through the winter. All with be a good deer plot, for sure.

I sure wish that was a skill I possessed.
