@chillin.with.my.h: 🍂 STOP WAITING FOR FALL TO START YOUR FALL GARDEN! 🌱 If you want a big fall harvest, the work starts NOW. And trust me, waiting until the weather cools down is one of the biggest mistakes you can make! Here are 10 tips for a successful fall garden: 🌱 1. Start early. Many fall crops need to be planted in July or August. 📅 2. Know your first frost date. Count backward from your expected frost date to figure out when to plant. 🥦 3. Choose cold-hardy crops. Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, spinach, carrots, radishes, lettuce, peas & turnips are great choices. ☀️ 4. Give them plenty of sun. Shorter fall days mean every bit of sunlight counts. 💧 5. Keep seedlings watered. Summer heat can dry them out FAST. 🌡️ 6. Protect young plants from heat. Shade cloth can help cool-season seedlings survive those hot August days. 🌾 7. Feed your soil. Add compost before planting to give your crops the nutrients they need. 🐛 8. Keep watching for pests. Cabbage worms, aphids and flea beetles don’t take the summer off! 🍂 9. Mulch when temperatures cool. Mulch helps regulate soil temperature and moisture. ❄️ 10. Prepare for frost NOW Have row covers, frost blankets or hoops ready before that first cold night hits. And here’s the secret: your fall garden doesn’t start when fall arrives. It starts weeks before. 👀 🌱 What are you growing in your fall garden this year? Drop your crop list in the comments!
