Aside from our main garden, I decided to make a smaller raised bed. I already planted it with several dandelions, but am unsure what to do next. In our larger main garden, we are growing different lettuces and kale for him. Regarding the new bed, would a Russian seed mix be good for this area? Or does anyone have any recommendations that might grow well up here in Illinois?

I think a Russian seed mix would be great! I'm sure you have enough time until your first frost but you could still build a simple cold frame over it to extend the season. Love it when ppl grow stuff!
