Extended Gardening Season
By admin | June 21, 2007
There’s no rule that says a garden has to stop producing as summer comes to an end. With a little planning you can extend your gardening far into the fall months. I routinely harvest fresh produce when other gardeners in my area can only look forward to next spring.
If you take advantage of the opportunity you’ll find that fall gardening can actually be easier than growing during the summer season. There are few insects to contend with, less weed growth, and you can frequently get by without watering the garden at all.
There are fall vegetables, flowers, and herbs such as calendula, kale, broccoli, mums, ornamental cabbages, leeks, and Mexican Sage that will appreciate a break from the summer heat just as much as you will.
Best of all you get to extend your gardening activities and share the sights and harvests beyond summer’s end. There are also plants such as garlic, leafy greens, pansies, shallots, and leeks that can be planted in the fall to be enjoyed the following spring or summer.
