I'm so glad fall is here, I couldn't wait to get some cool weather crops into the garden. I've been growing seedlings in the basement under a grow light. Last week I hardened them off. Which is where you expose them to the outside a few hours more each day so they are not as shocked when they are transplanted. They were outgrowing their pots so I was happy to see them go.
I transplanted some lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and broccoli. It's my first time growing all of these so it's sort of an experiment on how they'll do in this Georgia winter. We shall see!
When transplanting you need to make sure these baby plants do not dry out until they are well established. I also covered some of them with light garden fabric in hopes of providing some shade and keeping grasshoppers and other critters out.

It's sort of my first make-shift hoop row covering, not too bad huh? I'll keep you updated on how the veggies are doing. What are you doing in your garden right now? Do you have any advice for me on growing these particular plants? I would love to hear from you!
