Down to the Wire

I transplanted the last sowings of lettuce and Chinese cabbage to the secondary bed last night.  I stopped seeding transplants last week, so aside from spinach and turnips, I am done with seeding for the season.   It's always a bittersweet transition as the growing season comes to an end and I begin spending more time weeding and harvesting.  The late summer stars like tomatoes, peppers and beans are becoming more available and the larger plantings of broccoli and cauliflower are starting to head up.  Weeds are the big focus right now, but I still have 4 more transplant beds of lettuce to put out, so I guess it will be a while before the last salad of the season lands in a bowl.
