It's the time of year to plant late and fall gardens. Can you believe summer is halfway over with? I can't, although for a few weeks there -- with extreme high temperatures and drought conditions -- it seemed like it would never end.
For us here in Arkansas, it's time to plant turnips, collards, mustard greens, carrots, lettuce, radishes and even cucumbers and some beans. We've got a lot of growing season left for these quicker crops.
I've already got seeds for everything but the mustard greens, so I'll pick up a small portion of them this coming week. In the meantime, I have plots available for planting everything else. The fall garden should be pretty full and maybe it won't burn up like the summer one did!
