I am going to try to plant from seed some radishes, onions, and lettuce in a few days. I hope they do something. I will start them first from seed on my front porch in containers. Well they may stay in the containers. I wasn't able to plant anything in the ground now for a garden. They only thing I have growing right now is in my kitchen window that gets full sun, and I have a wide pot of basil growing real pretty. I do have two other windows in the house when it gets close to winter that I can still have full sun on my plants. I am doing a lot of experimenting with some.
