Has anyone planted yellow squash this time of year and have good results for a fall garden. I usually dont do a fall garden but thought i would try squash since my kiddo loves it along with myself.

It does better in a fall garden I think.

My experience is when we get cooler nights and dew it usually succumbs to powdery mildew. You can probably baby it along but there probably isn't enough time for it to produce . Days to maturity will probably be into October and cold nights.

Anyone tried growing romanesco in the fall? Neighbor ordered some seeds and I told her I'd try some for her.

Harvested the last of my jalapeños tonight. My 4 plants produced around 120 peppers this year.

I haven't, but starting from seed this late you might get a harvest and you might not. What is the days to maturity? Can probably handle a light frost but not confident it will handle mid 20's without protection.

I probably waited too long to germinate seeds. Will have check days to maturity.
