Looking Forward to the Fall Garden! | Reflecting on the 2023 Season

When is they dead line, to plant the fall crops?

It will all depend on your growing zone and your average first frost date. You can Google that for your zip code. Cold crops (broccoli, radishes, carrots, lettuce, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.) are good ones to plant for the fall/ winter. You may need to cover them throughout the fall to protect from some frost, but they’re more resilient that you might think.

It was a rough year this year... I gave up 2 months ago... just too hot. Hang in there.

There’s many times we’d like to as well. This heat is rough right now

Those dang squash bugs are overtaking everything this year. I have to plan a new layout for mine for weeding but the squash bugs may kill my pumpkins and I have treated them over and over! I came here hoping you had better luck!

[@growingwiththerileys]

We’ve had them every year we’ve grown. I’m not sure how to handle them. I have heard that growing squash in the fall actually helps since it’s cooler
