Default fall garden - what works?



Hey, Doug. A good place to start for info like that is the Travis
County Extension Office. Their planting calendar is hehttp://tinyurl.com/2c5act


Excellent. I'm a little embarrassed not to have gone to look for that.
Thanks for the link.
I'd still like to hear detailed suggestions -- especially stuff like
"this is great to plant now, but be sure to ... and be prepared
to ..."

My cherries ended up about 6 feet high, and as I recall is pretty
normal, they're browning the the bottom up. All the new growth is on
top, and the water is getting kind of far away.
I would have gone for slicers, but I was a little intimidated by the
prospect of blossom drop on the hot nights. As it turns out, we didn't
have any hot nights this very weird summer.

I may put some shade cloth over my seedlings for a few weeks.
