I am planting Chinese White and Daikon Radish this weekend. My whole family loves them because they are so versitle.

Turnips, beets, radishes, spinich (any greens).

Wait a month or so and plant garlic as you mentioned.

Just my thoughts.

August is the time around here for great fall crops.

October or even late September is the first killing frost.

So, plant anything you wish that matures in 60 days or less or can withstand the first few frosts.

Yes, garlic can go in. So can lettuce/greens, radish, snow peas, kolrabi, spinach, carrots (assuming super deep loose soil or raised beds). Even the faster maturing brussel sprouts will work. Those you can harvest in the snow.

I thought it might be too warm for lettuce, and I didn't know I had time for carrots, but I have seed for both so I'll try them. Thanks for your repies.

Forget garlic until AFTER you've taken off whatever you plan to plant now! You should not even think of planting that until mid-September and do the actual planting after 1 October. But if you do eventually plant garlic there, it's there to stay until right about now next year.
