Welcome to Fall!

I love fall and the changing of the seasons. The Texas heat has cooled and I am inspired to work in my garden and prepare it for winter. I have a "pot" garden for my herbs and veggies. It's time to refresh the soil and go to the nursery for some fall vegetables. Here are some vegetables to grow in your fall garden:

Best Vegetables for Fall Growing:

Kale – Nutritious leafy greens on productive plants that over-winter easily even in cold climates.

Collards – Another leafy green similar to kale but with larger, stronger flavored leaves.

Lettuce – Plant varieties bred especially for growing during the fall season or in cold frames.

Spinach – Not as easy to grow as kale and collards, these leafy greens will also over-winter.

Turnips – Here’s a quick maturing root crop that’s productive and easy to grow.

Rutabagas – Larger and sweeter than turnips, plant earlier in the summer for fall harvests.

Broccoli – Popular, productive and much easier to grow than cauliflower.

Cauliflower – Finicky grower, planting must be timed well in order to develop large heads.

Mustard – Spicy hot leaves, this is a very fast growing vegetable.

Mache – Very cold hardy, mild greens can be grown right into the winter months.

Cabbage – Grow from transplants (like broccoli and cauliflower) or start seeds indoors under lights.

Oriental Vegetables – Wide range of unusual varieties are available for fall production.

Escarole – A bitter leafy green vegetable that can be cooked or used raw as a salad green.

Endive – Similar to escarole with attractive frilly leaves.

Brussels sprouts – Start seed in early summer or purchase transplants.

Arugula – Fast growing leafy greens for salads or gourmet recipes.

Leeks – One of the hardiest plants in the garden, leeks can even withstand winter freezes.

Until next time!
