RE: Beginning Gardening

I am also in zone 8 and I am getting ready to plant my fall and winter 
brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, 
collards). I started the seedlings about 2 weeks ago, but I'd say there is 
still time. I also plan to sow carrots, radishes, beets, turnips,onions and 
other seeds over the next few weeks. Unless you have a really early first 
frost, you can probably get a few tomatoes, peppers, squashes, etc if you 
buy nice sized starts.

 I have some links on my garden page to various sites which might be useful 
to you, including a winter gardening page specific to the maritime NW. Good 
luck.
