After clearing the summer veggie debris in early September, we retilled and fertilized, then planted bush green beans, sugar snap peas, broccoli sets, spinach, romaine lettuce, and turnips. The peas were declared a failure after two plantings didn't germinate, and only about one third of the romaine seeds emerged, but broccoli, turnips, spinach, and green beans (now blooming) are doing well. I don't see heads forming yet on the broccoli, but I'm hopeful. Bloom clusters on the beans promise a crop still to form. We've been very rainy and cool for this time of year in mid Missouri, but my rows of green veggies in October are gorgeous to me. I hope we'll be eating fresh green beans, spinach, and broccoli for Thanksgiving this year. ~G We’re enjoying our first fall garden.

Fall gardening can be just as enjoyable as starting your vegetable garden at the beginning of Spring and Summer. The cool Fall mornings are very comfortable and when the foliage of the trees start turning bright colors along with the growth of your fall garden vegetables it can make for a very relaxing experience.

I agree with you, that it can be a more comfortable experience being out in the garden during fall, rather than during the hot summer months. Your tip on the extra protection required during fall gardening was excellent. Keep up the good work. Sandy Hi Kenny,

I really enjoyed your post on fall gardening. I agree with you, that it can be a more comfortable experience being out in the garden during fall, rather than during the hot summer months. Your tip on the extra protection required during fall gardening was excellent.

Keep up the good work.

I simply fell into gardening this fall by accident. The local Big Lots had the summer surplus of seeds for sale. I bought the entire lot of vegetable (40-50 varieties) and perenials (10 or so) for $10.00 USD. I built the 14' x 9' raised bed from old fencing materials, the compost was had for $7.00 and about 5 hours to turn the grass over and lay the compost and build the frame. It has changed my life, from being dependent on groceries, to now understanding a bit more about self sufficiency. I tossed in what I thought would be good Fall and Winter growth. Your site along with some others have encouraged me to do a late Fall seeding, today starting with garlic (in the row of chives that didn't come up, only 1 of my 13 rows didn't come up quickly). Its been a hoot, and I think I'll start blogging with photos here as well under a new moniker that reflects my efforts and intensions.
