FALL EDIBLES
Part of our series:
“grow it, don’t mow it”
W e spend a huge amount of time, money
and resources looking after the lawn – cutting
it, fertiziling, growing it, then cutting it down
again – when we should be revisiting our gardens for planting
FOOD! Here are some veggies you can still plant this fall:
BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, CAWLIFLOWER – Yes, they
can still be planted in late summer to early fall, will thrive in
cooler weather and will tolerate a good amount of frost, and
will be ready to harvest in about 50 days.
Furniture – custom design
& build, restore & repair.
Deck & fence repairs.
Call me for your small home
repairs – backsplashes,
baseboards, trim and more.
RADISH – Radishes are one of the fastest growing vegetables,
ready to harvest in about 30 days, and they are very tolerant
to cooler weather.
DON’T FORGET THE GARLIC – Plant garlic around
mid-October, when the first frost has occurred but before the
soil freezes over completely. Garlic is easy to grow, requires
very little care, and you’ll be amazed at the fresh taste when
harvested next July and August!
