Kale is usually an easy one unless you've been getting those fat grey aphids. Some of the folks here have recipes for Kale chips that I wanna try. Supposedly everyone loves Kale chips!
Swiss Chard is usually very easy too. It's nice to thin them to a single plant every 8 inches or so. They'll tough it out all winter if your winter is not too long or cold.
Turnips are a good one to try. I just planted some "Round Red".
I'm still figuring the best time for Beets to be planted around here. I just planted some "intermediate yellow mangel" beets.
I also just planted some "watermelon radish".
My Leek seeds have not yet sprouted, neither have my carrot seeds.
I'm planting leeks to use as small size green oniony soup addition stuff...slurp...another crop that'll need my sonic noisemaking gopher repellent doodads right next to. So far no gophers, but I sadly had to use mousetraps to kill 2 voles.
Am considering planting Rutabagas and that big reddish mustard in the bed I DIATOMACEOUS EARTHED heavily to slow the big grey aphids. I think it destroyed the aphids completely! waiting to see first...
