An Autumn Thought

Lettuce Give Thanks

I can't thank Mother Nature enough for this unusual stretch of mild November weather we're having. My lettuce is certainly enjoying it as much as I am. I wonder if it would be too much to expect another week of this before the first hard frost arrives?

The Second Time Around

Soon, much too soon for my taste, I know that we will probably have our first hard frost here in NWI. But the nice thing about root vegetables is that a nip of frost doesn't end their existance. So come what may, my second round of onions will probably turn out O.K.

Fall Planting

For the first time I am trying some fall gardening with Tom Thumb lettuce. Its small size and quick rate of maturation should result in one or two good harvests before the first hard frost comes near the end of October.
