Winter Vegetable Garden Plantings

Set 15, 2012
After digging 2 feet down and mixing 18 yards of compost in my 1000 square foot garden, I planted Armenian Cucumbers, Birdhouse Gourds, Watermelons Dwarf Bolero Marigolds.  It was too hot to plant much else after I prepared the soil and I wanted most of  the soil to rest for a while while I waited to plant the Winter Garden.
     In mid-August I began planing to get an early start for the winter crops.  However, I had to keep planting through September since if was such a hot September. Finally I began to see small seedlings  sprouting in early October.
