This year, I'm attempting a Fall garden for the first time! Using salvaged bricks Dave found on Craigslist for free, I constructed a square similar to the one used for my small Spring garden. My intentions were to start the seeds indoors at the beginning of July. BUT...that didn't happen! So I planted the seeds directly into the soil mix and have been praying for the best. I planted broccoli, kale (lacinato and a curly leaf variety), red chard and spinach.
The newsletter from one of the local nurseries mentioned them selling transplants for the fall gardening. I may go ahead and clean out my Spring garden and plant a few of the transplants. Sort of like a "Plan B" if my direct seed experiment doesn't work :)
Fabulous! I am hoping to get back into the swing of gardening next year when my wee ones are a bit older. If you don't read her blog already, head over to Teresa's Homestead Notes. She is an avid gardener and I have enjoyed many a blog post about her winter gardens. Enjoy!

You are way ahead of me. Last year I waited too late to plant carrots and the snow got them.

Good luck with your fall garden! I'm not sure I'm going to try. Summer's garden was such a bust!
