We have most of the garden real estate in production at this time (6 - 4'x4' frames and 9' of grow boxes), but are nearing an inflection point where some crops will be rotated out such as peas and overwintered lettuce, opening up space for new plantings. We will need another flat of lettuce to be started indoors, but I think it is too early to start fall crops. It would be nice to have another crop of spinach and tatsoi. Maybe I will try growing them under shade cloth (they are susceptible to bolting). I will also be adding two new frames this weekend and planting anything that hasn't made it out of the flats yet (cabbage, broccoli, squash, pepper, basil and tomatoes). Time to add some fertilizer as well.
We have easily saved more than $200 in groceries from the garden so far this year with the greatest savings to come with the harvest of tomatoes and peppers.
