We are going to plant some beans, beets, spinach and lettuce for fall.

Later I will plant the winter garden. Lettuce, spinach, garlic, and onions. This will eventually be covered with row cover and straw.

In October, after the first frost, we will plant winter wheat and red clover in February.

I’ve got a tiny bit of heirloom hard white wheat seed, I’m thinking of trying a small patch inside of my garden - now that we have the deer problem largely solved. Mainly I want to try to increase my stock of seed a bit - for a “just in case” stash.

I am thinking of planting red clover in a new area where I want to set up next years garden.

At what temperature do you plant it? When do you cut it down - before or after flower? Do you plough it under or just cut it and let it sit there breaking down?

Thanks for the help.
