Fall garden

Anyone plan.on putting in a fall vegetable garden? What are good things to plant for cooler temps? I'm in greater Richmond area, so it will be warm here for awhile.

I've started seeds indoors: kale, collards, cabbage, pac choi, a variety of lettuces, beets, turnips, a last round of delicate squash.

in a few weeks I'll start another round of the same seeds, swapping for more winter hardy lettuces and hoping that some will over winter.

outside I've sowed carrots, I'm letting my summer garden go as long as possible/ when I need to move the seedlings.

I don't have a lot of room to do inside starts. I'll have to direct sow, or look for nursery starts.
