MORE FAMILIES WILL PLANT FALL GARDENS
This is an Unprecedented Year, and Seed Companies are running out of many Seed varieties, so make sure you have Seeds, and Plant a Fall Garden if you can. Our Ancestors always saved Heirloom Seeds every year, and tried to be Prepared. We should also remember that we are facing a Food Crisis in the making, and inflation is getting way out of hand as we speak.
This will give you a Heads Up on timeframes. To produce a successful Fall garden (depending on your region), your vegetables need to be sowed or planted by late July into mid August. Here's a few tips that can help you:
VEGETABLES YOU CAN GROW IN YOUR FALL GARDEN
GREENS:
Kale
Spinach
Bak Choi
Arugula
Lettuce
Collards
BRASSICAS
Cauliflower
Cabbage
Broccoli
Brussels Sprouts
ROOT VEGETABLES: (will keep for months in a crisper or cellar)
Beets
Carrots
Turnips
Celeriac
Rutabaga
Radishes
Parsnips
Potatoes (In some regions)
OTHER VEGETABLES
Peas
Green Beans
As you can see, quite a bit of food can be grown late in the season. One thing you should know is that during the Fall Season, many of your vegetables will taste their best, as you are growing into cooler weather
1. Starting seeds indoors. You need to count back 12-14 weeks from your Average First Fall Frost Date. All of your brassicas, and kale need to be started indoors where the temperature is cooler. When your seedlings are about 3 weeks along, transfer them outdoors, preferably on a cloudy day.
2. Add some nutrients to your soil. Youโre probably going to plant where a previous vegetable had already been growing. Itโs a good idea to add a bit of compost or worm castings to give your Fall crops optimal growing conditions.
3. Mulch. Since the days are still going to be hot, make sure to add some organic mulch to your Fall crops such as grass clippings or straw to keep moisture in the ground.
4. Water. Make sure to keep your seedlings moist especially if your trying to germinate seeds directly sown into your garden. One tip, soak your seeds and leave them in the refrigerator overnight. The next day sow them in your garden. This will speed up germination.
5. Pest Prevention. One of the most difficult aspects of starting seeds and putting out new plants during the summer are bugs. You can use floating row covers, especially on your brassicas, to inhibit cabbage worms.
12 to 14 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR FIRST FROST
Direct-sow beans, parsnips, rutabagas, and begin planting lettuce and radishes.
Start brassica seedlings and kale indoors, and set out the seedlings within 3 weeks.
10 to 12 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR FIRST FROST
Set out brassicas and kale.
Direct-sow beets, carrots, collards, leeks and scallions, along with more lettuce and radishes. In some areas, even fast-maturing peas and potatoes will do well in the fall garden.
8 to 10 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR FIRST FROST
Direct-sow arugula, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, turnips, spinach, mustard, pak choi and other Asian greens.
Sow more lettuce and radishes, including daikons.
6 to 8 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR FIRST FROST
Make a final sowing of spinach.
Make a final sowing of lettuce beneath a protective tunnel or frame.
Take it one step at a time. If your a new gardener, try one green and root vegetable for your Fall garden. If youโre ready to step up your game, add a few varieties and keep track of what produces well and what your able to preserve.
Next, add your Heirloom Seeds. At THE SEED GUY, we sill have 2 of our great Heirloom Seed packages that are Non GMO, Small Farm Grown, Still Hand Counted and Packaged so you get the best germination, and Fresh from the Fall 2021 Harvest.
