Do you have fall garden planted?

I have not planted a fall garden in a couple of years, However pruning grapes replanting Jerusalem artichokes, cleaning, reworking, fertilizing raised beds still gets to close to planting a fall garden, Either gets ya all worked up and to work!

Our Houston weather is still warm out, but have started hardening off to begin stagger planting of this 1st batch.

trying to get it together to have one this year...but still in the planning stages.

I do radishes and sometimes carrots every fall. Then it's whatever grows from the peelings and seeds I throw out there.

I vote for No, I do not plant a fall garden... Also I did plant fall then squirrels and rabbits digging it out and put somewhere else!

Today should be our last day of 100, so it's time to start Fall planting; already have tomatoes and some peppers that made it through the summer and planted some carrots,radishes and mesclun greens mix.

I only plant Tomatoes in the spring and they don't do well - not interested in growing other veggies. I prefer to plant my Tropicals and enjoy them!

Yes I love a fall garden. We have planted collards, turnips, mustard, Swiss chard, kohl rabi, carrots, lettuce, kale, broccoli, rutabaga, and I feel like I'm forgetting something but maybe that is it.

my first year growing during the winter...LOL

Jan,
You're gonna love it!

No fall garden - not enough daylight for any useful growth from now on.

Where is other?
I have a 4 season garden, well maybe 3 1/2 seasons so it was designed to show something in most seasons and Fall is the flowering highlight.
I will also add garlic and lettuce.

I am planting lots of flowers though, today gallery hybrid lupines,tutti fruiti went in last week ^_^

I live in an apartment; however, I have a panoply of plants. My current favorites are my Ficus religiosa and my Kalanchoes pinnatae and Kalanchoes crenatae.

I don't plant anything in the fall, but enjoy the autumn clean-up chores and how all the foliage and late flowers meld together is muted shades.

Yes, indeed. I start cleaning up the summer garden and harvest the last of the fruits and veggies, then lay down new amendments and plant some sweet peas, lettuces, bulbs, and more fruits and veggies. I love autumn planning and planting.

I selected "brassicas", but could have selected the top 3 this year. I plant peas, kale, spinach, turnips, & anything that I have room for that will grow in zone 6. The kale came up voluntarily because I let last year's fall crop winter over & it went to seed in the Spring. I'm still harvesting my summer crop of cukes, squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, lima beans, & cheering for the okra (worst year that I've ever had for okra!). With all the summer crops still producing, I don't have the usual extra space for a fall crop. The best part of fall gardening, my garden is pest free!

Not yet, but I am planning it!
