How many of you are planning on doing a fall garden? Did you even know you could do a second season garden? The general rule of thumb I believe is to plant 6 weeks before the first anticipated frost and here in central Ohio the first frost is usually in the first week of October putting your planting date in the third week of August. So plenty of time to buy seeds and do any prep work you want to do! The following is a list of plants that you can put into your fall garden.
lettuces
spinach
peas
cabbage
carrots *
leeks *
beets
garlic **
kale
radishes
* These need planted rather soon because they have a much longer growing time - 70ish days or so.
**Garlic is typically planted in october, winterized (put straw on top of them), and harvested in late june the following summer. Home grown garlic is worth the effort though!
