Cooler temperature after some typhoons is one of the signs telling the start of autumn and we can plant winter vegetables. Today I and my daughter planted sprouts of 3 cabbages, daikon radishes and mizuna/potherb mustards. Daikon radishes and mizuna is very popular for us to cook a pot dish like sukiyaki, which give us warmth in winter.
My daughter is now my good helper and so reliable that I can leave some gardening works to her. You see her making "straw blankets" for the cabbages. She knows how the blankets works. That's why I can leave it to her.
Autumn can give bugs comfortable environment. Some young worms were found on my Chinese cabbages. I can't leave picking and killing bugs to my daughter. Why? Because she goes away swiftly when she see bugs,,,,.

I too am thinking about Winter vegetables. If only I had a heated greenhouse!

I wish I could have it, too. A green house which can keep the air warm is so productive that we can expect much growth and fruits even in a cold winter.
So nice to have such a great helper.
I am also starting to gather the winter vegetables, it is going to be a good season
