I think you should be safe with those fall crops, but of course it's always touch and go trying to figure out just what Mother Nature is going to do to us, she's so fickle! I planted beets and lettuce today, and you're only a week behind my final planting of bush beans. I'm planting fall spinach sometime this week, as soon as I get a spot cleared and amended.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-30188328616594279082011-07-28T12:19:45.123-07:002011-07-28T12:19:45.123-07:00Thank you Annie's Granny, we're putting in...Thank you Annie's Granny, we're putting in a couple of rows of bush beans this weekend. We'll also add a row of spinach to our back-door garden and maybe even a row of beets.

I plant mine in rows, two rows with the seeds placed about 6" apart and the rows about 6" apart. When they are full sized, they will make a "hedge" about 2" wide. Anything wider than 2 rows I find too hard to pick. Bush beans only take about 50-60 days until they are ready to harvest, so you should have plenty of time to grow them if you sow them now.<br /><br />Beets, lettuce, spinach and radishes are other crops you could begin to sow now for a fall harvest, the latter three throughout this entire month and radishes right through September. Carrots would be touch and go, it's getting pretty late, but if we have a long warm autumn they could make it, and they can overwinter. Garlic and shallots can be planted around the middle of October.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-34488209388105940552011-07-27T10:34:00.110-07:002011-07-27T10:34:00.110-07:00I think I need to do this too.

This is really our first year at an attempt to have a productive fall harvest.

LOL! I would be thrilled to have a basket with some yummy looking tomatoes AND onions like you are getting. Each year brings it's winners and losers. Unfortunately, ever since moving to western washington almost every year the tomatoes are on the "losers" list.
