The cucumbers will have to come from the store. The mesclun, arugula, onions, tomatoes and radishes will come from the garden. The cucumbers were pretty disappointing this year. Next year they will be taken out of the garden altogether. Maybe they will do better in the front yard. They are not really decorative plants, but having cucumbers or not having them offsets that.
The spinach was planted in the same spot for the 3rd time. Maybe the soil is cool enough now. There were one or two little spinach plants there, so the seeds were just planted around them. There was one nice cabbage plant. It was not in the cabbage row. It probably came from a dropped seed. That plant was replanted to its proper place and the cabbage was replanted as well.
Cool weather has been very slow coming this year. October 21st is supposed to be our average 1st killing frost date. The lowest night temperature we have had has been 39 degrees. It sure would be nice to keep the pleasant weather and have the soil cool down as well.
