Planting Your Fall Garden

Summer is over, the tomatoes, squash, and peppers have been harvested. But wait! Don't hang up your trowel just yet! It's time to start thinking about your fall kitchen garden. Fall is the perfect time to plant those vegetables that won't tolerate our summer heat. Planted in September, many will produce up to winter and beyond.

We will discuss preparing your garden bed, and the vegetables that you can plant in the Fall. These include vegetables from the Mustard family such as arugula, kale, and mustard greens, beets, spinach and swiss chard from the Amaranthaceae family, and lettuces from the Daisy family thrive in the Fall. Other vegetables that are perfect for the fall garden include carrots, dill, and parsnips from the Carrot family, and sugar and snow peas from the Legume family.

We will draw out a plan for a 4x6 garden bed to include the vegetables you enjoy.

Please note: Masks are encouraged.
