And the pie. Gotta love the pie :-)<br /><br />Good luck with completing your list!

I also had a large variety of hotness, depending on how long they were in the ground.<br /><br />Unfortunately it is still in the low 90's here and I don't think I will be able to have any cool weather plants for a few more weeks. I am worried that the lettuce and spinach seeds I started for late fall harvest may never get going before it freezes because it is too hot now. Aah, the joys of high desert.Castalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407553953656489236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-31094870485474728172010-09-27T07:34:56.333-05:002010-09-27T07:34:56.333-05:00Susan, I really appreciate you telling about when ...Susan, I really appreciate you telling about when you plant your veggies. My husband and I have recently left California for the country of Connecticut and I am having to relearn timing of planting my favorite vegetables. Last spring I thought I was getting a jump on planting and planted myriad cole crops in March indoors. When I planted them out in late spring, my neighbor ambled over and commented on how quaint it was that I was planting fall crops in spring... yikes! Your plant zone is similar to mine and I so much appreciate you sharing when to plant. Helps me keep up with your great recipes too if I've already planted the crop! Thanks so much for so much fun, CaryCaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236278932692169950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-85799096817891979362010-09-24T13:17:44.766-05:002010-09-24T13:17:44.766-05:00It's 87 & sunny in NY.

More of the same tomorrow, then it's supposed to "cool down" to the upper 70s. <br />I have more of a problem with deer in my sedum than I do with bees!<br />I've never planted lettuce before, so I think I might just try it this year. Wish me luck!kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602883597772387316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-70423318165428829892010-09-24T08:46:37.940-05:002010-09-24T08:46:37.940-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Strumeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111992200177574268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-34366981188138289602010-09-23T11:14:45.193-05:002010-09-23T11:14:45.193-05:00Our summer ended abruptly at the beginning of Sept...Our summer ended abruptly at the beginning of September unfortunately. We've had a few decent days, but now five more days of rain has come.

In New England it is getting dark before 7:00p.m. now so there is relief when the sun sets.<br /><br />Going to pull out tomato plants from Earth boxes and grow some lettuce and arugula but it needs to be a tad cooler on the deck.DollZandThingZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906400814059674230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-1925750177964693862010-09-23T08:53:57.160-05:002010-09-23T08:53:57.160-05:00I have a question about the bees.

But we're getting one last (I hope) summer kick in the ass with a high of 85 degrees and humid tomorrow. Gross.<br /><br />I didn't plant any fall radishes this year. Or lettuce, either. Frankly, I'm sort of looking forward to the end of the garden season this year so I can kill all the weeds and pretend that next year I won't let it get so out of control. Yeah, with a year-and-a-half-old child THAT'S realistic.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.com
