Fall vegetable garden

[Old Arkansawyer]

After a couple of good soaking rains this past weekend I planted
some fall/winter vegetables today. It is a little late but if the
first frost holds off they should be fine.
Planted:
2 kinds if lettuce
Russian blue kale
beets
Swiss chard
onions
cabbage
broccoli
and finally some radishes
Part of these went in my green house, part in a cold frame and
the rest in a couple raised beds.
Already have tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse and will
have them until Christmas and then take cuttings and pull up
the tomatoes plants, transplant the pepper plants and set them
outside come spring.
Anyone else plant fall/winter gardens?

Good job! I give the garden and myself a break in winter. We put garlic and onions in but that's about all.

Everything on your list is welcome on my plate anytime.

I tried and failed the Fall garden game and lost every time. One day it's just toooo hot to get something going, and the next day it gets frost killed.

Collards are sweeter after the first frost

Never done any fall gardening unless you count planting turnips for winter cover. We don't eat them. It is sort of late but it has been so dry here where I live in the Ozarks you could not grow a cactus.
Good luck with the garden

I need to get the same done. I will only plant some greens and onions. I have a couple of pepper plants still going from the spring garden.

Fall is the garden season here. We grew eggplant, okra and peppers this summer. Fall garden has broccoli, collards, beans, celery, peas, and the ever present mystery tomatoes that grow from the compost.
Plus several herbs year round.

I've got Collards and Turnips. I planted an oz. of each in separate patches and had to plant twice this year. The first time only a few plants came up so the next time I bought seed at a different store and I got a stand this time. Larry

The mini drought was why I'm 4 weeks late planting.

When I was a serious gardener, and much younger, I was ready for a break and hardly ever planted fall stuff. We did keep a tomato plant one year, all winter in the South window, and had a few tomatoes from it.

Happy Gardening and have a blessed day,

Leon

I don't usually plant a winter garden.

I've got my garden plot cleaned up, covered with the fall leaves, then plowed everything under. When all the kids and grandkids came up to the ol' homestead for Thanksgiving, we spent a good part of Thursday morning on "manure crew," where everybody pitched in cleaning out the big corrals and covering the garden plot with manure. I'll let it get rained and snowed on all winter, then when spring comes, the minute the plow hits it, it magically turns into the best topsoil you've ever seen.

I have a few multiplying onions just outside the back door. They must be the toughest garden plants around, to live in that "soil". They are really mild and have a great flavor.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

First frost was Sept 18th and it was late. Not much point in a fall garden here.

Hydroponics.

Build yourself a solar greenhouse, sometimes called Chinese
greenhouse. You can grow cool season vegetables down to
0-10 degree outside temp. You might try it.
