I was surprised too how heat tolerant the broccoli plants are. I complain when the temps are in the 90s but 103 degrees is way too hot!! I hope it cools off for you this week.Janehttp://akitchengardeninkiheimaui.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-30606210424631093362011-07-28T00:13:15.186-04:002011-07-28T00:13:15.186-04:00It all looks very nice.

I look forward to seeing how yours works out.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71831598377893850652011-07-27T11:32:39.762-04:002011-07-27T11:32:39.762-04:00Linda.

I did get a small fall garden up with some ripped out tomato plants though.<br /><br />Laura, I've got to keep doing successions of pac choi it just grows so fast I could do it every three weeks.<br /><br />Carol, I hope your next try works out better. Sometimes getting this started for fall is so hard.<br /><br />Granny, I had some lettuce seedlings I'd direct seeded between some more mature plants. As soon as the mature plants got pulled they mostly fell over. I think the massive sun all of a sudden was way too much for them.<br /><br />Thomas, Mine too. All of the summer lettuce was too bitter. Sigh. <br /><br />Mrs. Pickles, lol well we can't plant in the winter. The ground is frozen solid then.<br /><br />Sue, gardens are always like that in short season areas. I start my fall seedlings before the tomatoes start producing.<br /><br />Mark, That is too bad. I had a lot of trouble from them in the past, but the row cover this year is doing very well.<br /><br />Diana, Not the busiest, but certainly I've got more work to do. I'm shocked how well the brassicas are doing in the cool weather. I thought the broccoli would just die, but they did quite well.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-42423545022892467272011-07-27T10:00:42.160-04:002011-07-27T10:00:42.160-04:00This must be one of the busiest month in the garde...This must be one of the busiest month in the garden for you Daphne.

Planted them on a cool evening, then had our hottest day of the year the very next day. I'm not going to do a lot of succession planting, as we'll be heading south before you know it. I am going to try a small bed of spinach to hopefully winter over.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-83632938887048924362011-07-26T10:29:48.763-04:002011-07-26T10:29:48.763-04:00I'm trying again today for fall planting.

The fall broccoli transplants went out about a week and a half ago. I have lots of seedlings going in the house under lights - kale, lettuces, cabbages, chinese cabbage, pac choi, etc. Today I am planning to direct seed some over wintering onions and some late fall/winter beets and carrots.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-87223823280462294212011-07-26T10:02:32.077-04:002011-07-26T10:02:32.077-04:00I'm having a hard time getting things in the F...I'm having a hard time getting things in the Fall garden to germinate here, too.
