We’re less than two months from the First Day of Fall!

 

It’s hard to think about cooler weather right now when much of the country is experiencing 90s and 100s on the thermometer, as well as drought (or summer flood) conditions in some areas. But despite what it looks like in your garden now, fall is coming fast. We’re less than two months away from the first official day of fall! 

It’s kind of sad, actually. Before long, you’ll be picking winter squash, pulling out exhausted tomato vines, and harvesting the last few cucumbers, peppers, and ears of sweet corn. Your mouth might even water, remembering the flavors of summertime. Or maybe you’ll get a little discouraged, because you wanted to grow so much in your garden this year, but your growing season again proved too short or too harsh for an abundant harvest.

But it isn’t too late!

You might not be able to slow down the calendar or go back in time, but it ISN’T too late to get an abundant harvest from your garden. Fall gardens can be just as productive as spring and summer gardens, if you plan them right.

First off, a fall garden extends your growing season. They’re ideal for gardeners who live in climates with shorter growing seasons or harsh summer conditions.

When you plant a fall garden, you’ll get a larger total harvest of produce for the year. You’ll have another chance to preserve food for the winter, plus another try at growing cooler weather crops that didn’t do very well in the spring.

And the added bonus? Leafy greens and some root crops from a fall garden taste better and produce more when they’re growing in cooler temperatures! And some will continue to produce well into the winter and even the following spring if you protect them accordingly with season extension methods.

All of those benefits can be yours, if you start planning a fall garden NOW, while you still have time to calculate planting dates, get the best seeds, and prepare a garden plot.
