It has been a couple weeks since I started planting the fall garden so this update feels late to me. I now have in the ground both golden and Chiogga beets, Purple Haze Carrots, red meat radishes, some pickles I never planted earlier, and all 6 kind of lettuce I bought and the spinach.
Everything but the carrots has sprouted. I have been running the drip irrigation for 10 to 20 minutes every day or so.
The pumpkins are doing great and I am still harvesting more peppers and tomatoes then I can eat. But unfortunately not enough tomatos to can any.
I'll post another update soon to much to do today.

Pumpkins seeds in the ground

Well I managed to get the pumpkin seeds in the ground yesterday. They were the biggest priority, they have a 95 day harvest time line. That would put harvest at November 3rd. So we will hope for the best and carve what we can into Jack-o-lanterns.
I spent a couple of hours on the rest of the garden and packed the compost tumbler again. I had emptied it last week onto the base of all of my peppers and tomatoes. So with the grass growing in the garden spots that had been empty since the peas, beets and carrots got done along with the bolting lettuce and the wax beans I have another full load to cook down.
I will finish up prettying up the open space in the garden over the next few days and then begin to plant the fall garden.
I'll post a mater and pepper update soon.
Seeya,
