It is probably a good time to be moving perennials around here but I think the calendar may have passed the date for any veggie annual to benefit from a move.

Mid-40's and foggy here ..! Seems like I could have given some Bok Choy some more room about 3 days ago. Funny how some plants really seem to benefit but they are all set back a few days by transplanting. Timed right, it can delay bolting while allowing for larger plants. It has been decades since I tried direct-sowing some cabbage in the spring. A combination of these approaches is probably best but I don't really remember how that cabbage did ...

How about now, in your garden? Are you still moving the bok choy, "situating" salad greens, giving a spinach plant to be overwintered a good home?

The only thing I have planted for fall and winter is a short row of mixed greens, most of which seems to be lettuce. I haven't even spent much time in the garden the last few days. I go out and pick off about 6 long beans for supper pretty often, and grab a couple of peppers and tomatoes, but that's about it. This time of year, it's too dew-wet in the morning, too hot midday, and dark too early in the evening. (Haha, excuses, excuses!)

I'm planting out some of the Peas I started in the greenhouse for my breeding project.
The soil is not warm enough to transplant everything else I have growing yet.

Well, I had plans. I have kale seedlings and never got them in the ground yet. I am not sure there is any reason to now. I did plant some spinach and some lettuce. They are growing really slow. I have a another row of spinach that is not up yet. I sure had hoped to plant more mustard greens, collards and bok-choy, but I never got to it.

I have tiny spinach, arugula, and other greens ready to put in the ground. I'm afraid they will bolt before I get to it, as I'm not sure where to put them.
Eventually, they will be in a winter hoop house, but each fall we juggle hoop houses around and make room for the hoop coop. This involves DH driving his tractor around on the garden, so I'm best off creating a holding bed away from there.

Planning a feast for the chickens this weekend. The last of the squash plants, the withered vines from several tomatoes, the pole bean vines, and possibly the roma plants if there are only a few unripe fruit left - all going into the coop. Hoping to get a few brussels sprouts in the half barrel where the pole beans were. And after cleaning up the garden bed, I want to sow spinach/greens over most of the rest of the garden.
