[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5688769, member: 5958"] My experience with fall crops is 100% bad. My Broccoli went to seed with just one day of 78 degree sunshine. Ever seen lettuce bolt? Actually kind of a good learning thing. I did not know carrots would bolt. Or radishes for that matter. direct sow maybe late September, depends upon your elevation and overnight chill temp. You need direct sunshine to sprout shade to keep growth under control, and cool temps or the plant will bolt and you cannot stop that once it has begun. Onions are okay be sure you get short day seeds, I think that is what they are called. Get a single pack of long day and plant hem a good distance from the short day. Sets are not good although I use them for spring onion purposes. For onions, seeds. and the seeds are tiny. watch the wind. [/QUOTE]
