I've been getting asked the same question a lot in the thread I started on adblocking yesterday. Here's a quick summary of what I do. I will not be recommending specific services, please do due diligence before choosing one. If they don't pass the vibe check don't use them.

A community garden plot opened up!!!

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PLANT!?!?!

We don't have too many of these in our town, so they're highly sought after. I placed myself on the waiting list a while back and it looks like one just opened up.

They're free to use, but you have to actively use and maintain it. It looks like this one wasn't maintained and defaulted back to the community.

I love how the organizers are willing to assist community members!

I'll be heading out this week and taking a look at it. I'll post pics of it and will keep updating this thread as I decide what to plant and my learning how to plant it.

I really don't know how to garden outdoors. But! Only one way to learn!

So! What should I plant so late in the season?

I'm in Northernish Virginia, USA.

My goal is food, dense nutrients. I really wanted to plant potatoes, but I'm not sure if its too late for that (I don't know though! I'll research it!). I also will see if I can set up some automation on my plot, maybe even put a camera out there to watch it remotely. I'll ask the organizers if I can do that.

Wish me luck!!!
