This will change the way I grow in my garden

Every year I try something new in my garden to improve my gardening and produce more.
Sandy Bottom Homestead was started to supplement our food supply. By Gardening and raising chickens we have been able to meet that goal and start to surpass it. Follow us as we continue to build out our homestead and become better gardeners.

Instead of rearranging our furniture, gardeners love rearranging our gardens. Is there ever a time we will be satisfied with the way everything is growing just like we want?With all the heat, the cold, the sun, the shade, the tree roots, no rain, too much rain, etc., it's hard from one season to the next to decide what;s best for our plants.

thats the truth lol

Dutch cabbage was a fail for me this year. I believe it was fusarium wilt (from infected seedlings) that killed them (two sets of transplants). Next season (January), I will be growing cabbage from seed, and planting in a different location (just in case it is my soil). I'll still get one, maybe two heads of dutch cabbage. However, I have six heads of red cabbage, seven heads of Napa cabbage, eight heads of Pak Choi, and a bunch of winter choy growing, so no shortage of cabbage.
In the spring, I am going to experiment with yellow zucchini. gray zucchini, and round zucchini. I'll also be growing Jolene tomatos which are replacing the Grand Marshall. I'm going back to growing the interntional pickling cucumber, and expanding the number of Arrow/Lincoln peas four fold. Sweet potatoes will be replacing Russet potatoes, and I'll be moving some crops to a new growing location. Not the raised beds though. Moving three was enough for me. I'll also be cutting the number of peppers I grow by half. I'll probably keep my tomato crop at twelve plants, and only grow a single crop of them.
I have enough spearmint, peppermint, comfrey, chickory, oregano, and parsley growing. I'll reseed basil, dill and cilantro next year, and I may try growing stevia again. Catnip can't take the heat of Alabama summers, and chives have been a problem every time I've tried growing them. Other than that, I haven't made my plans. I am still looking to grow something new that has a wow factor to it. Armenian Yard-Long cucumbers? I'll always have space in my garden for experimenting, but I've reached a stage where I am moving more towards production while having ample variety. To do it, timing (and pure stubborness) is everything!
I'm totally shocked. This is the first year that I've seen other people with a fall garden in my area, and the big box stores sold fall transplants for the first time. I'm afraid I've been a bad influence to the people in my community. Now, what are they going to do next year? I start gardening in early January. If it wasn't for the holidays, I might start in mid December. I still might?
