Many different kinds of crops must be planted in the fall for next years harvest. These crops tend to be grown from roots or tubers instead of from seed and also tend to be expensive. I was planning to order some hardneck garlic from Seed Savers Exchange but most of it was sold out.
I found very affordable hard neck garlic for sale at a farmers market in Allston, MA. The farmer said she grows all of her garlic from her own bulbs, so I bought as much as I could. You can read Megan’s account of us planting garlic on her blog.
I also just planted jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes. I found that these tubers were also very expensive to buy online. I found them at Russo’s in Watertown, MA.
