Vegetables, Herbs and Edibles for the Fall?

Carolyn, Spinach and chard can be direct planted in September here in Central Texas, but we don't get frost until around Thanksgiving. So much depends on the weather/rainfall. I usually make succession plantings about 10 days apart. If you give yourself 2 or 3 months before your first frost date, you'll likely have all the greens you want (spinach can withstand frost). Your tomatoes will bear in the fall, especially if you give them a gentle boost of fertilizer when they start to flower. "A little late in" may not have anything to do with your tomatoes not producing much. Tomatoes pretty well shut down when day temps are over 95 or night temps are over 75 or thereabouts. Eggplant is a hot weather crop, much like okra and peppers (although my peppers do better when it cools down a bit in late September). I wouldn't bother with eggplant until next spring. Have you considered putting in broccoli? It loves fall temperatures!

I've got some Japanese vegetable seeds that I haven't listed in my profile yet.
Please excuse the rough translations but these packages are in Japanese.

Sweet Pepper "Shishitou Tougarashi"
Greens "Katoun"
Greens "Mizuna"
Mustard Green "Takana"
Eggplant "Hitokuchi Nasu"

Seeds are packaged from "Anzen Seed" in Los Angeles, CA.
Email me if you are interested. I also can get other Japanese and Chinese veggies from a local market. I'd love to have a reason to go picking through their selection for other things if there's something specific you are in search of, but the pickings are starting to get slim!
