What has been most notable in this first year is that not all the plants produced fruit. I've heard that before - "plants grown from seeds of hybrids can be sterile" - but I didn't realize that it might affect such a large percentage of the resulting plants. <br /><br />Glad my garden has had an otherwise very productive season! Otherwise, this outcome could have been more disappointing than interesting.<br /><br />Barbara -- I'll be starting lettuces, spinach, more chard, kale, chicory, and collards in the flat, at the very least. I might also add some beets to the flat, in case the local rabbits wipe out the seedlings that I sow directly in the garden. For most broccoli-family plants, I usually set out transplants. I'll be getting out my seed packets tonight or tomorrow to make the final plan, though, and will probably write a post about it. <br /><br />Also, I'll be giving a talk next week (Wed. evening) at the Mountainview Library on starting a fall garden. It's a free presentation, and I'll have handouts with lists ad timetables for people who show up.Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14108368551894382300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134341373474313620.post-88512619825628976552011-08-04T10:02:29.045-04:002011-08-04T10:02:29.045-04:00What are you seeding for fall into the trays/pelle...What are you seeding for fall into the trays/pellets? This will be my first year to do anything fall except collards. I want to do carrots and brussel sprouts. Should I just purchase transplants for the brussel sprouts? My whole summer garden was started from seed - I've just not done a fall garden except for collards in the past.Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134341373474313620.post-89633571066276660742011-08-03T18:58:45.042-04:002011-08-03T18:58:45.042-04:00Interesting experiment/plan on the canary melon.
