It’s time to plant your fall vegetable garden—here’s how.
If you have free space in your garden beds or empty containers, it’s still early enough to plant for a fall harvest. Vegetable gardening in the fall is often more successful than in the spring or summer because you are up against fewer odds: weed growth slows down, the plants are under less heat stress, there’s more rain, and many garden pests are also gone.
Next, check the days to maturity of the vegetables you would like to plant to make sure they fit into your time window. Days to maturity is the number of days from the time when the seeds start to germinate to the time of harvest. For example, bunching radishes germinate in as quickly as three to four days, and then take 20 to 30 days to mature. On the outer ends, that’s a total of 34 days. Where I live in northeast Pennsylvania, the first frost occurs around October 3.
In the warmer climates of the southwestern and southeastern United States as well as in the northwest, you have a much larger time window, as many cool-season vegetables can be overwintered. One of the most memorable dinners I ever had with was actually on a visit to Oregon in January. The humongous root vegetables came straight from a friend’s garden, wonderfully tasty and sweet.From Our Shop
