The season is moving along quickly and it is sometimes hard to know where we are in the planting cycle. We've had a very different spring/summer this year.
There are things that can be planted now as seed. I obtained this list from Down to Earth. I assume it is for the valley, but I believe we can do just as well here:
Arugula, Asian greens, basil, green onions, lettuce, swiss chard, beets. broccoli, cabbage, carrots cauliflower, cilantro, collards, fennel, kale, kohlrabi, parsley, parsnips, peas!, radish, rutabage, spinach, turnips.
I am a sort of seat of the pants gardener. I put my finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing and plant. So far I've had good luck with most of these.
Starts can be put in now for artichokes, chives, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, leeks, parsley, pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes.
This the best time to plant starts for basil, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, corn, kale and peppers.
I think I would take exception to eggplant, tomatoes, corn and pepper starts. Our nights have been so cool. Unless you have a bed covered with perforated plastic or a greenhouse, you might want to pass.
Good luck.
