David II -- 13h Your in Illinois correct? If so, that is not that short of a season and you have almost ideal conditions for most crops with your warm summer nights. Fennel can handle a frost, so a late July sowing will definitely be ready by October. reply [1 reply]Your in Illinois correct?

I’m fucking trying to grow everything this year lmfao….I still have to start beans, peas, fennel, spinach, lettuce, beets, pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, ramps, lotsof flowers, still need to order stuff too…Can I just plant ginger and turmeric I got from the store??? #askagardener
Direct sewing is your friend as things warm up. Most of what you listed with exception of the fennel which needsa longer seedling stage. Skip the repotting and transplanting whenever possible to save time and effort.Yes to ginger and turmeric—but don’t expect it to over-winter. Pre-sprout, then plant in shallow trenches andhill periodically as shoots emerge. Harvest as “baby ginger” before first frost.https://blossom.primal.net/0fa042179c0eb4e6fd658c1db782d8e13dc366da78f1572053ec5a7167c4dbd1.jpghttps://blossom.primal.net/d7493e7dd508733e2ad0a3498882dbfa7f670c7114c8cf9474df9ea1b1f4e1af.jpg
Direct sowing fennel in late summer for fall harvest has always worked best for me
With how short of a season I have I doubt that would work… I plan on doing it in pots as I don’t think I’ll havea garden bed available for em…
