Re: List of fall crops

Thank you for your response to my plea for help.

I I am going to plant all of the things you recommended.

I don't normally cook with kale, swiss chard and collards, but we never
really ate eggplant before I grew it this year, but because it was part of
the harvest, we ate it.  This will force us too expand our diets.

Someone gave me advice to just take a deep breath and dive right in.
Thanks!
