It doesn’t look like much, but there’s a whole lot of hope planted in this bed!
I’ve also planted some mixed lettuce, spinach and kale in one of our ground level beds as an experiment.  I really just want to see how they do without any cover.  Time will tell.

Have you planted your fall garden?  What have you sown?  Have I forgotten anything?
