Late Summer Gardening

As the end of summer looms near (sorry to be so dramatic) I’m given to thoughts of what to plant for a fall/winter harvest.

I’m in Zone 8 BTW.

So far I’ve been thinking of.

Carrots (carrots don’t like me. I have to work on them)

Lettuce (I didn’t do that great with lettuce this year)

Swiss Chard (we’ve been really enjoying swiss chard this summer)

and my Egyptian Onions should be arriving soon.

The late summer start has me thinking I should wait a few more weeks before starting anything but I’ll be tilling the soil to prepare soon.
