Time to plant fall salad greens

Reminder: It's just past halfway through August and time to plant salad greens for the fall. We've had good salad pretty much until early July, with the cool, damp spring. Then everything bolted. Yesterday Greg pulled the old stuff from the raised bed, and we will need to get it prepared and new seed down before rain comes later in the week. That should give us thinnings by late September, and good salad greens until Thanksgiving.

We also need to think about how we will house the chickens this winter. I like the idea of having them inside the garden space, with active raised beds covered against the chickens. But I believe we need to add another room onto the coop. I hope it's not going to be too difficult to convince Greg.
