And just like that it's November, where did October go??? Not much in the way of planting, outside anyway, here in central Iowa. We have plans to work in the yard this coming weekend to get the raised beds ready for next spring.

So... I should wait until the 11th-13th to plant my onion and radish seeds?

Not doing any outdoor planting. I did start a batch of lettuce in my imitation-Aerogarden system. There is still plenty of lettuce and kale for salads in the outdoor raised bed which should last until almost Christmas, depending on the weather. The plan is to have hydroponic lettuce ready by the time the outside lettuce is done. There is a nice patch of turnips, some Swiss chard, and a few green onions still growing in the garden too. The turnips have been great, we enjoy both the root and the greens, nothing goes to waste.
