Here in eastern PA, we have had only one cold night, which reached 25 degrees. Otherwise it has been a great growing season. We have enough kale, chard, lettuce and other greens for a daily salad and eggs and greens. I planted probably like 300 spinach plants which have done great. Picked 20 Napa cabbage, carrots, radishes, turnips, bok choy, herbs.
At this point, I don’t get enough sunlight to keep things growing, but they aren’t dying either. Hopefully I can get the spinach and kale to overwinter in the hoop house and get some early spring pickings.
10 yards of mushroom compost and leaf compost mixed together and put on top of beds. Personally I don’t till or use fertilizer unless something is clearly not growing.
Our garden down here is doing great as well. We are lucky we don’t get as cold of weather down here. I am still picking tomatoes though they will probably only last another week or so
I am between Houston and Dallas. I picked a few black eyed peas today. I planted them late just to put nitrogen in the soil and they are making like crazy. If the cold weather holds off another week I will have everything ready. The peas and tomatoes are the only warm weather plants I still have that haven’t quite finished yet. I am overrun with turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, and tomatoes. I had planted almost 300 early this year and they survived the summer. I should pick them one last time this week
