I have a hankerin to grow some veggies. Of course, being late in the season means very few direct-sow options left. Here’s a short wishlist of ideas:

• Soy beans (edamame)
• Bush/French beans (preferably stringless)
• Okra
• Peppers (yes more of them!)
• Swiss Chard (ornamental)
• Sweet Potato (ornamental)

According to Burpee, these veggies can be direct sown into the garden this time of year. More regional-specific reading can be found at the Aggie Horticulture site.

Question of the day: what’s eating my Lobelia erinus Regatta Midnight Blue?
