Someone asked the question below back in August. Since I am from zone
6/7 PA I figured I try planting some stuff per the replies they got. I
have never done fall planting before in my small vegetable garden. I
got the guys at the garden center to go dumpster diving and pull out
the seeds their rep had just thrown away. They gave me Burpee packs
for 10 cents and I convinced them to put the rest out for elementary
school students and their science projects.

TODAY I picked radishes and leaf lettuce from what I planted, along
with some of my last pink heirloom tomatoes. A spring salad in the
fall with garden tomatoes...I am in heaven.

What should I plant now?

Group,

I live in zone 6, eastern PA. I am a newbie for gardening.


I just got a piece of small community garden and I am learning to
garden. Now that it is late august, what should I plant? I do not
have any preference, only something that can get my foot wet, something
that can survive the winter or can harvest before frost kills them.


Any suggestions?


Thanks
