I’d like to plant some carrot seeds soon for late fall harvest. I’m out, so I checked a couple local nurseries. One is sold out of all carrot seed, the other has sold out of all of their seed for the season. Few gardeners plant crops for fall. So I placed a nice big order from Johnny’s Seeds. Five varieties of orange carrots and a purple carrot, a black radish, a small Chinese cabbage, purple stock flowers, red salanova lettuce, pickling cukes and teddy bear sunflower seed for next year, and dubuisson endive.

Fall crops I’ve already planted are Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and of course lettuce that I am planting about every 3 weeks. I’ve also planted Belgian endive (wiltloof) that I am looking forward to trying for the first time this year.
