Sustainable Acres Fall Vegetable Garden

Selecting the Right Veggies

The Magic of Year-Round Gardening

By Christy Caplan | Sustainable Acres

In many regions of the U. S., you can garden almost year-round. Many cool-season crops produce well in the fall and hold through the winter, if protected. Good crops for late summer and fall gardens include salad greens, cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, carrots, leeks, beets, turnips, scallions, parsley, spinach and parsnips. If space is available in your garden, you can plant these in late summer( and more). The cool weather also can lead to a more pleasant gardening experience!
