Time to Plan for Fall



This is the current state of my garden.  There are only a few cherry tomatoes left to harvest and the Lebanese Zucchini are still going strong.  One baby cucumber has started to grow and the crook neck squash seem to be blooming.  A few onions are left and several strawberries seem to come up each week.  No more beans, but potential for chocolate and jalapeno peppers are just around the corner.  All this in about 400 square feet of space.  It shows that any urban dweller has the potential to grow their own food.  Above are some pictures of the current garden.  
Here's what I am planning on growing for the fall once everything above is spent.
1) More onions
2) Pumpkins of course (Cinderella Pumpkin is my favorite right now)
3)Beets
4) Carrots
5)Lettuce-I don't have much luck with these because of the deer and squirrels who seem to love lettuce and spinach.   I guess I could share with them.
