Onions: I harvested our 2009 onions already and they are in the basement, but on the suggestion of a friend I seeded onion directly into a bed this past August to overwinter. This was a French variety I'd really wanted to try more of, and I'm really excited to see how it works out. So far, so good, as they are coming up and look healthy and sturdy:
Garlic/Shallots: I planted these this past weekend. 35 French gray shallots, 3 red shallots, and I'm not sure how much garlic yet (I haven't tallied them up). Planted Transylvanian, Chinese Pink, Music, Applegate, and Shantung Purple.Broccoli: I have two varieties of broccoli in, too: this fall crop and a purple sprouting broccoli for next spring. This year's batch is almost ready to pick.
Cabbages: I may have put these in too late, I'm not sure. I've never grown cabbage before.
Turnips: I planted a lot of turnips, ONE grew. It is currently in the refrigerator waiting to be cooked.
Carrots: These did beautifully in my second batch. I've picked a lot, but there is a lot still in there. I'm going to wait until after the first real freeze to pull them.
Parsnips: Still in the ground, I have no idea what's going on down there.
Peanuts: I got about 8 dozen peanuts!! Off four plants!! I'm pretty happy with that, and they are good size, so I think I will grow them again.

Excellent list! I didn't really do much for fall garden. I planted some seeds but kept forgetting to water them.
I really hope to get some cabbages out...fingers crossed.
