I did it about a month later than is ideal, but it'll still work. I bought plants; next year I will be more organized and do everything from seed . I'll plant lettuce this week in the cold frame and I expect to have lettuce all winter long (under glass). I did plant my leeks from seed way back in the spring and coaxed them along in pots in the shade all summer and then planted them in the garden in August. They are growing very well.

I still have tomatoes on the vine and lots of basil, but the zucchini and cucumbers succumbed to wilt and my watermelons succumbed to neglect. I dug up the remainder of my potatoes for the herbs, and had a wonderful tortilla espanola with those potatoes for dinner last night. I love eating what I grow!
