Cool weather fall crop

engineeredgarden
15 years ago

This is my first planting of a fall crop, as well as the 8 vegetable varieties I currently have planted. I've been looking forward to this since May. I guess this is because it's a whole new experience to me, with it own challenges, as well. I've just gotten started, and already have problems. About 6 of my 12 broccoli seedlings are being completely eaten by something. I've seen several grasshoppers around that location, and i'm almost positive that it's the likely culprit. Looks like Neem will be necessary earlier than expected. I plan on using BT on most leafy vegetables, and Neem on the remaining varieties. I'm really gonna need everyone's input, to help this fall crop become successful. I would be very interested to know which pests to look out for, because I really don't know what to expect. Cabbage worms and Cabbage loopers are a given, it's the others I don't know about yet.

Varieties planted are:

1. georgia collards

2. turnip salad

3. lettuce

4. carrots

5. spinach

6. sugar snap peas

7. cabbage

8. broccoli

Thanks, EG
