I have kale, cauliflower, cabbage (70 day kind) and beets on the patio. I should have started more beets. They really look good. I am going to be putting the beets in the garden within the next few days. I am going to transplant the cabbage and cauliflower into bigger cups and put them in the garden when I get the onions out. I am going to direct sow collards, carrots and beets. I feel it is a waste of time for the carrots, but I am going to try. I found an on line schedule that said I could direct sow bok-choy, lettuce, spinach, mustard around July 27 and Aug. 10 would be my last day I could direct sow spinach. I am not sure what I will do with the kale. I guess plant it when I plant the cabbage. I am going to put sage branches and lavender around the area where I plant the cabbage, kale and cauliflower. I did that last year and it worked to keep the slugs out, pretty good. I read they do not like certain herbs. I have been putting the seedlings inside the sawhorse greenhouse at night because last year the slugs were eating the seedlings on the patio. I also planted too late. The cabbage never did finish and it froze. I got a tiny little bit of broccoli.
