I'll have one bed going in the fall, the others are going to rest.  I've planted lettuces, carrots and shallots already.  Tonight I should get to put in onions, broccholi, spinach and kale.  I also have some strawberry spinach seeds that I might plant.  Does anyone here have any experience with that?

It's a spinach that has edible flowers/berries.  I saw it on seedsavers website, so I just ordered it because it was different.

Oh! I've grown that. It was allied beet berry on the packet that I had. Mine didn't make it this year with the drought in the beginning of the summer and me being away. 

It is delicious
