Last year we were so busy on the Hemingway Land Project that we never managed to put together a fall garden. This year I was able to plant lettuce, spinach, peas, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage all in the last week in August. In the future I may skip the entire spring garden and just concentrate on the fall garden. Our plants seemed to grow twice as fast as their spring counterparts. They also competed with less weeds. The fall garden did require a great deal more watering, but I'll take watering over weeding any day. Another benefit I found was that by August all the organic seeds were 50% off in the local shops.
