My attempt at an advertisement! Seeds for fall, winter, and spring eating!! Here’s your challenge: if you aren’t already growing all four seasons, this is the time to start. These are some great selections that I’m sending off to a customer today who can be eating home-grown greens etc. all months of the year, even in cooler climates. For me, especially for the leafy greens, I’ll plant fall crops now, and then a winter/spring crop in October/November that I’ll cover with hoops and clear plastic - aiming to get good germination and a couple/few inches of growth before the winter solstice so that they will stay alive and slowly photosynthesize until they start growing rapidly again in February for late winter, early spring salads and stir-fries.

I started about 50 trays of seeds during this waxing crescent moon. Now colder nights are coming, so I have covered everything up. So excited for this growing season! #seedstarting #wintercrops #hightunnel #lowtunnels #waxingcrescent (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Inspired by Bryan O'Hara’s talk last night at PHS City Harvest annual meeting about No Till Farming Methods, I’ve recommitted to not just leaving the soil in tact, but also feeding it like a living and hungry being. I was taught to keep wood chips and unfinished compost off the annual fields, but I threw that out the window after talking to him. The mycelium growth and worms in the chips and compost were beautiful! So glad to bring them to my plantitas. #notill #livingsoil #wintercrops #pennsylvaniahorticulturalsociety #cityharvest (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

I admit it: I overseed! I often use the excuse that the seed is old, but I almost always have to do serious thinning of seedlings. Time to get it under control! Anyways, if you want to come to Newtown Square and help me weed and thin some winter crops in the coming weeks, let me know. On the left are various Carrots (Daucus carota) for spring eating (plus the aforementioned weedy Red Russian Kale). On the right is Landis Winter Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), which I'll eat half of and save the other half for seed. #daucuscarota #lactucasativa #landiswinterlettuce #wintercrops #seedsaving (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

feeling fall it’s been a pleasure to have the oven on the warmth and fragrance from the kitchen @dellafattoria #warm #kitchen #fragrence #wintercrops #feelingfall #californiacold #brianhowlett #californiacuisine #california https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKafIES0uP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
