OCTOBER GARDEN

When we lived in Aurora, Co (elevation 5471 ft), a family from Northern California moved into our ward.  The brother asked my husband what we plant for our winter garden in Colorado.  Jeff just stared at him, not quite knowing what to say....  We could only grow our garden from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  Our "summer garden" was the same as California's "winter garden."  We wondered what it would be like to be able to plant year-round.  Little did we know then that soon we would be living it!  Hurrah for So Cal!

Hopefully you have your garden spot all prepared (I'm still working on  mine) because the WINTER GARDEN Season has begun!

According to Mr. Ledgerwood, the best things to plan in October are:  Beets, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Cauliflower, Endive, Kale, Kohl Rabi, Leek, Lettuce, Mustard, Parsley, Parsnip, Peas, Radish, Rutabaga, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Turnip, Collards, Favas, Winter Zucchini.

Ready...Set...Plant!!  

(um, can anyone tell me what Kohl Rabi and Favas are?)
