Plan Now for a Fall Garden – Before it’s Too Late!

February 19th, 2009 by David LaFerney Leave a reply »

Before it’s too late?!  Yes, that’s not a joke.  It’s still winter but the cabbage, broccoli, peas, potatoes, etc that you’re planting now (or soon will be) for your early spring garden are almost the same things you will want to plant in July – August (in zone 6)  for a Fall garden.  The thing is that seed will be hard to find, and seed potatoes and bedding plants will be just about non-existant by then.  Buy a few extra now while they are plentiful  and stash them for later.  You’ll be glad you did.

    Your right about this one I never seem to plan ahead and never have what we need when we want to plant late in the season

      One of the main things that I’m trying to do with this web site is to give people notice about what they should be doing in the garden while they still have time to do it.

      I’ve noticed that in a lot of cases (in magazines especially) by the time you read an article on planting something it’s already too late.
