Thanks everyone for the welcome (hi Kari!). My first question is can I plant anything now? Not vegetables but herbs or other plants? What sorts of things should I be thinking about doing in the fall? I know you plant bulbs in the fall :-) I would like to buy a small composter, does anyone have any suggestions. I'm very envious of everyone who is harvesting veggies now.
