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.

What to Plant and When

Lisa Miller will guide you through the best practices for fall gardening, including:

• Choosing the Right Crops: Learn which vegetables, herbs, and flowers thrive in the fall, such as leafy greens, root vegetables, and hardy perennials.

• Timing Your Planting: Discover the optimal planting times to ensure your fall garden flourishes. Understanding your local climate and frost dates is crucial for successful fall gardening.
