Space in garden

[majorcatfish]

Ok, I still have 6' by 12' of room. Will put some cabbage there. If someone (not a dang southerner ) has a suggestion for an annual, I would to hear it. Otherwise it will sit vacant till get fall vegetables going.

@majorcatfish & @baymule love yanking chains........enjoy your gardens in August...... We are normally done with snow by May.

seedo since you're so far north you might as well plant your fall veggies now, according to this years farmers almanac it's calling for snow mid september up your way..

oh by the way while you yankees are snow bound inside your houses trying to keep your sanity from cabin fever looking at last years seed catalogs. we here in the south are enjoying freshly pulled veggies from our gardens year round.
december...

my vote is brussel sprouts for your area...

Okay, that vote for Brussels sprouts did it!

I thought to say something about this on @Nyboy 's barbeque thread but any vote for Brussels sprouts ...

Steven Raichlen just said on Sunday morning teevee that the use of fire didn't arrive before modern humans. Therefore, barbecuing is an essential part of civilization.

Anthropologists would have all sorts of trouble with this statement beginning with the evidence of fire and cooking associated with human habitation 400,000 to 1 million years ago but Homo sapiens only showing up in the fossil record about 200,000 years ago. Civilization, the building of the first cities, is as recent as 6,000 years ago.

Barbecuing was probably just a primal good idea and Seedcorn likely already has a special place for it. However, Seedcorn should step into the truly civilized world and build a greenhouse on that piece of ground!

I vote for flowers and herbs to attract pollinators.

I will enjoy my August and use it wisely. I tore out the crappy closet racks and threw them outside. Have clothes in those wardrobe boxes, they are crappy too. LOL When it gets too hot to go out to play, will build closet organizers. DH is first, his closet is 4 1/2' x 10' gonna build him a bodacious closet. Mine is much smaller, I'll build mine after his.

So in August I'll be soaking up the cold blow and doing something useful......... and what exactly do you do under eighty seven feet of snow? Hmmm? Snicker. Giggle. Laugh. Guffaw.

Oh, that's our little secret Bay. Those 87 feet of snow are like the Great Wall. It keeps the dang suthunahs from invading.

Snowbirds are what we call people that live in the north but close their farms down in the winter and move south. They can't do anything useful up there any way and it's cheaper to live in a trailer near Corpus over the winter than try to heat their home in the frozen north. Plus they can get outside and enjoy themselves.

I work for a few of those non resident residents. Not farmers, but folks who like our summers enough to keep a house just for a few months enjoyment. Works for me.
