This is Jackie Marie Beyer, your host here to help inspire you on your journey to create, grow and enjoy a green organic oasis. So let's get growing! Welcome to the GREEN Organic Garden. It is Saturday, July 31st, 2021. And I am here for episode two of Soil Sista Saturday, with the golden listener of 2020 Aileen Catrone and welcome back. So what's growing in New Jersey this week. How's it going?

47sAileen Catrone Well, I started fall planting, so squash, zucchini, and I'm going to start my broccoli indoors. How do you think that goes? We think of a work I have to work.

1m 6sJackieMarie I think you're starting squash new?

1m 10sAileen Catrone Yes. Yes. Starting it, like just putting the seeds in the ground. They've already come up. It's amazing. Cause I think you have so many days, like 70 days or something before your first frost and you can harvest them. So let's see how it works out.

1m 28sJackieMarie Oh, well, when did your first car?

It was just gone.

2m 32sAileen Catrone So I w again, Gary Pilarchik that you had on, he had said something about trying to start a fall garden indoors, you know, get some things ready for the fall and plant them out in your garden for the fall. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do transplants of cauliflower and broccoli. And I think I would try brussel sprouts too. So there's no, there's no threat of that dreaded cabbage moth. And I haven't seen any for the past week or two. So that's interesting. Might be just a spring thing. And then I don't know what your insight is on that?

3m 9sJackieMarie I don't know. I'm so curious. And I had somebody else who was in New Jersey asked me what to plan for the...
