fall planting - speed up growing, or too late?
Comments (8)I just checked and I planted everything 7/22. I also checked the GrowGuide from chestnut-sw.com and using 10/2 as a first frost date, this week is time to plant...tada..Spinach! (Sick of it yet?) Ongoing (that means a week behind schedule but still ok to plant) is: beets kale kohlrabi mustard greens radishes swiss chard turnips Peas, unfortunately, the last chance was around the last week of July. Changing the frost date to 10/6, it says new this week is radishes, and last chance for starting carrots (outdoors of course) and leaf lettuce (starting seeds indoors; the week of 8/11 is the last chance.)

Comments (4)FYI: Some sellers (esp. the less expensive ones such as John Scheepers/Van Engelen) don't offer lilies in the Spring - others vary their selection.

But their Summer catalog also includes a good selection of other lilies. Their current and their past summer catalogs are posted on their website if you want to see how the two selling seasons differ. If there's a particular lily you want in the Spring call them up and ask if they're going to offer it. They're very friendly. -Helen...See MoreToo late to plant a fall crop of greens?
