Anyone else have anything else they like growing in the Fall? When to plant??
We're planting broccoli, cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, collard greens, beets, carrots and butter crunch lettuce. Pulling the last of the peppers and tomatoes today and amending soil with compost and chicken manure. Will start seeds in mini greenhouse early september for everything except root crops.

Thanks for the feedback... Doc said I need high fiber and this list looks like a great start to that and all things I love to eat!
I plan to burn off the plot this evening if I get home in time and without rain. Will then begin to turn over the soil, add in all the chicken pen stuff we've been saving and water that all in real well if it doesn't rain...
