What is Fall Gardening?
Fall gardening involves planning and planting crops that thrive in cooler temperatures and shorter days. This season offers a unique opportunity to extend your gardening efforts, allowing you to enjoy fresh produce and vibrant landscapes well into the autumn months.
Why is Fall a Great Time to Garden?
Fall is an excellent time to garden for several reasons:
Cooler Weather: Many plants prefer the milder temperatures of fall, leading to healthier growth and reduced stress.
Fewer Pests: The drop in temperatures helps reduce the number of pests and diseases that can plague summer gardens.
Extended Harvest: By planting in late summer and early fall, you can continue to harvest fresh vegetables and herbs beyond the typical growing season.
