Autumn is here yet, luckily, sun does not want to go yet. Early morning is chilly now, but fortunatly I don´t have to get up until it is warmer. Our climate has great differences of temperature from dawn (the lowest) to 3 PM (usually the highest). My next proyect, thinking of the weather, will be planting some veggies from seed. Then I will have some organic greens in Winter. I already planted radishes (they sprouted) and some kale that have not come out yet. I placed an old plstic making a sort of roof over them so that they don´t catch the early morning frost if there is any. What are your garden proyects? Do you plant veggies?

I even have some herbs in containers. They are easier to grow as they don´t have much weeds.

I have too many wild animals that visit our gardens, so all I have growing are herbs, and tomatoes and flowers on our deck.

I guess that living in a city has its pros and cons.

Sometime soon I am hoping to plant something but since the weather here is still like winter although it is supposed to be spring I think it will be another month before any planting happens.

No garden here my friend. The sun is not shining now though it was earlier. Your temps sound the same range and hourly as here.

Radishes grow so fast and they are so strong tasting when grown at home.

I love radishes. My only problem is that I have to fight for them with my best male friend. Dixie does not buy radishes at her house so her husband has to steal mine

I have planted salads in the greenhouse, they are sprouting and in a couple of weeks I will move them to the vegetable garden. I also have the tomato plants ready to plant, but for the moment they stay in the greenhouse, the nights can be still cold.

@marguicha My greenhouse is very simple, made with polycarbonate, just big enough to keep inside those plants that do not survive too cold temperatures.

I do plan to have vegetables just before the rains as it is too hot just now to start with that.

I have some hardy flowers, but I love veggies although they are more difficult to take care of.
