Pulled my onions yesterday that are now curing outside. Alissa Craig sweet onions and the few Ring Master that didn’t bolt. Got some pretty big ones in there. Millionaire eggplant, Aunt Molly’s ground cherries, Austrian Crescent fingerlings, Black Beauty zucchini, Isis Candy and Bloody Butcher tomatoes. Two full beds of Provider green beans are just getting going and should keep me busy harvesting and processing over the next few weeks.

Nice gardening work!
 
So my plans got a baseball bat to the face. No garden went in this year again. Except a few 'plants' for the wife. Happy wife happy life. But not the garden I wanted. Work blew in like a hurricane and I have been 7 days a week 90 hours since late April. I have a large space I can't till and plant in ground because it's a septic field. I ordered 20, 150 gallon grow bags/beds I'm going to put on pallets. One grow bag per pallet, the 150 gal is around 4 foot diameter, so it should be a nice raised bed garden for that area. I'll run irrigation lines to each bed so it should be pretty turn key by next season. This will be a week or so project filling them up and getting it constructed. So by the last week of August I should be able to plant a fall/winter garden.

What can I plant in late August that does good for a winter garden here in Portland metro area. A lot of this is prep for next year's garden but I don't want to let them sit empty all winter.

I'm thinking:
Kale
Miners lettuce
Spinach
Other lettuces
Carrots
Parsnips
Cabbage
Tunips
Kohlrabi
Beets
Reddish (short grow time)
Purple sprouting broccoli
Fall started onions

Peas?

What am I missing

Forgot about garlic

Garlic for sale right now. Gave away or rather shared most of my elephant garlic harvest so i gotta order some- expensive suckers! Ilike to buy from Nichols Garden Nursery. The grandfather first brought elephant garlic( closer to ashallot actually) to the Us for sale in 1949 or 50 15$ for a 1/4 lb Yikes! Inflation finds every crevice. Bought a box of dozen pencils the other day… just sayin…

Why yes it is oh voice coming unexpectedly . Such an exotic name this FontinalysisFin, yet you allude to an envelope that birthed from afar, from a distant land-a parcel labled with such a plebian title etched on it which i have disassociated and forgotten its title.

Skip, I'm gonna' have to come visit you for some gardening help. My garden - if you can call it that - this year is the absolute worst since I started 9 years ago. I planted lettuce, spinach, onions, and beans 4 and 5 different times. My tomato plants began normally, but stopped growing a month ago and are only about knee high and no new tomatoes in the last month. Other than the delayed spring/summer, I don't know what all went wrong.
