Fairly soon was probably not the best wording. Might be the end of July to start them. But I do plan to try some. I am picking broccoli for a couple weeks now, and boy is it good compared to supermarket stuff. I am down to two healthy cauliflower plants, with no sign of a head yet on either as yet. When the time comes, I hope to have good transplants of both of them and whatever other short season crops I have seed for. May try red beet transplants this fall as well. These beds need to be kept in use!


This is only my second year at brussel sprouts. They were superb for a neighbor two years back, but he lives down by they crick through town, and has lots of groundwater for brussels sprouts. I had to try some last year, and they were so so for me with lots of worm damage. I didn't really fertilize at all. This year, so far so good in the raised bed with a rubber "trench" I can fill easily to irrigate. It has been so dry, there are very few cabbage moths as yet.
