Preparing for fall gardening
It’s time to plant starts of fall vegetables and sow lettuce for fall harvest. I’ve got kale, collards and broccoli already started. Cucumbers and zucchinis are dying back. Untreated they go to wilting diseases but not until I’ve had a good harvest. Don’t compost diseased plants, it spreads the problem.
