Re: Fall vegetables

Alexandre,
 
Greetings from the Algarve!
 
I have a small but very productive vegetable plot (~15m2).
This is only my second season here so I am no expert.
 
I have just cleared away some of my summer crops - courgettes, cucumber onions and bolted lettuces. In their place I have sowed more salads (lettuce, rocket, coriander, radish). This week I will sow some more onions (especially spring onions), plant out garlic and now is definitely the time to sow broad beans (favas) . I think you would have success with a wide range of brassicas. Turnips and kohl rabi work - we just dont like them. Carrots grow ok now but I wont bother. I will probably do a row of mange tout peas which do well here in the cooler months but fail in summer. I have found that our winter months can be quite productive.
 
So this is a fairly busy time for me with the vegetables. My next big sowing will be mid-February.
 
Boa Sorte

Subject: Fall vegetables

I'm thinking of starting a vegetable plot in my garden. I have no experience with vegetables so I would like your advice on this matter. What would be the best vegetables to sow at this time of year. This is southern Portugal and the weather is still warm, arround 20-25ºC (and likelly to stay like that for a few more weeks). Thank you for your advices
