Planting Time: Late Summer

I checked out the Planting Calendar from the University of Missouri Extension Service. This is a great road map for the Gardener. Late Summer Planting Times for Northern Missouri are as follows:

May 1-July 20: Sweet Corn
July 20-25: Kohlrabi
July 20-30: Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower
July 20-August 5: Turnips
July 20-August 10: Spinach
July 25-30: Broccoli, Butterhead Lettuce
July 25-August 1: Beets
July 25-August 5: Bush Green Beans, Half Runner Type Beans, Yellow Bush Beans
August 1-15: Leaf Lettuce
August 1-20: Radishes
August 1-30: Mustard

I have to say that I really don't feel like we have completed "Spring Planting". That seems odd. The Rains came down. The Weeds came up. Yes, the Raised Beds have made all the difference. But we have been busy busy trying to reclaim the Garden. That however is happening and it feels really good. Most of the Gardens are weeded; even the Grandmother's Flower Garden is taking its due.

Should we choose to plant more, these are some thoughts on Fall Gardening. At this stage, we are trying to be respectful of respectful Limits for Gardeners. We will have to wait and see what we choose to do.
