Thinking about what I am going to eat in October on a sunny August day is not something I generally do. However, with my impending local eating challenge and the end of summer gardening approaching, this weekend will be phase 1 of my fall garden. Hopefully some of the starts I put in this weekend will be ready by October, and the seeds well on their way to being full grown plants.
After doing some research, it looks like Portland fall gardens generally contain carrots, leeks, beets, turnips, greens (more kale and chard, is it possible for me to eat more kale and chard??) and brussel sprouts.
Off to the nursery tonight to seek out heirloom seeds (with names like "Nordic Kale" they will hopefully be up for their own challenge of growing in a time of waning light and increasingly brisk days).
