Planting fall crop in Ga

Its late summer and I started planing my fall crop today! Seeds in the garden today are acorn squash, cabbage, collards, broccoli, 3 kinds of spinich and iceberg lettuce. Last week I planted some boxes with leaf lettuce, mesclun and arugula. This is my favorite time! My favorite garden veggies all grow in cool wheather. Next month I will do another row of all of the above so that I can have a continuous crop. Henk and Hilda have been out ridding the lawn of bugs and doing a very good job I might add! They were both rescued from a chicken house after clean up and I say they are a couple of very lucky chickens. We have a friend that has some real small chickens, dont know what they are called but im going to try and get a couple. They are too cute and I love the way they sound as they run around in the yard peeping so daintily. Looking cloudy today so I dont need to water the garden in as we have had an abundance of rain as of late.

I have been collecting aluminum cans for years now and the bins are getting full. I can only get .65 cents a lb right now so I will wait till Jan when the rate should go up. I would really like to get .70 to .85 cents a lb if at all possible! I found a place in jefferson to take plastic so Ive started saving that also. Anything I can keep out of the landfill I will!

One important lesson I learned this growing season is not to plant veggie seeds that someone gives you and you dont know what it is. I had some squash and beans take over the garden and had to pull them out. That left me with a lot of space and too hot out to start anything else! The squash I will try again next year but in a place where there is plenty of room for it to grow.
