Book Description
A fall garden maximizes the yearly production of your garden. Plain and simple. By planting now, you can keep harvesting food much, much longer and therefore accumulate more total bounty.The variety on your table. Planting a fall garden extends your menu options. That lettuce that wilted and turned bitter in the heat will be crisp and sweet with cooler temperatures. Kale, salad mixes, cabbage, snow peas, carrots, scallions, another round of fresh green beans, radishes, root crops like beets and baby turnips, you get the idea!There is a much-reduced pest load in the fall garden! I mean, almost non-existent! So refreshing.There is no stress on the plants from heat. Even plants that like warmer weather can be planted now and benefit from milder temps if they are quick producers. You can fit in another round of green beans (bush varieties), summer squash for fall soups and casseroles and even cucumbers if you get them in 90-100 days before your first frost!There is no stress on you from the heat! A practical consideration. This is why I say there is joy in fall gardening! Of course, I find joy in the garden all year long, but the cooler temps and the fresher air of fall make the garden particularly enjoyable. Not having sweat drip into my eyes is a big bonus also!The flavor of some vegetables in the fall is incomparable! Carrots, lettuce, all dark-leafy greens, radishes; these are all so much sweeter and crisper in the cool of the fall!Some plants, when planted in the fall will give you a harvest immediately, then come again in the earliest spring! Parsley does this here in zone 6b, even with winter temps going down into the negative digits, uncovered! Such a nice spring addition to the table.THE THIS BOOK NOW AND GET TO KNOW MORE AND HOW TO GROW
