It's too cold here now for anything but cabbage (cruciferous) to
survive, been having light frosts each night. Now is the time to plan
next years crops. I've been having good luck growing melons so will
plant even more next year; canteloupe, honeydews, and those small
icebox watermelons... fresh picked vine ripened melons are fantastic,
especially those small watermelons, like candy... you'll never enjoy
market melons again. Delicata squash is very good too:
