Got our youngest excited about doing some cold weather planting, now I just have to figure out what else to put in when the tomato's are done! I know I will be planting some Walla Walla onions in between the maters as they need to be there now, and then get some of the best sweet onions in the world come spring. But for G-man's spot, there are the sugar snap peas that are done, and I need to go pick the seed off of them and the early radishes I forced to bolt for next spring and clear it out. He will help, he seems to love it (YAAAY!). So, we will clear it, take down the trellis and stir in some compost and manure. I got him some broccoli and brussel sprout seed, and there was something else! And I can't remember! OH! YES! PURPLE KOHLRABI! He is going to love this, wanted stuff he likes that has odd appearances, these will suffice, hehe. As the tomatoes are finishing (I have time) I Will probably throw spinach in..fresh spinach, yum! I am on the lookout for some material to make a cold frame as that is move able, we may lease on for the next year but if not I want to be able to move it! That would be a fun one for our youngest, he would get a kick out of the early growers and fresh lettuce all winter, this little guy can't get enough salad and he eats brussel sprouts with me, no one ELSE in the family will, haha.
