This week is definitely feeling like summer - we are forecast to hit the upper 90’s by the middle of the week! These temps can make it tempting to just hibernate indoors, but today I’m here to share with you…
5 reasons to plant a fall garden/succession plant this summer:
1. Fill in empty garden space after spring crops and get double the return from your garden space.
2. Have veggies ready to harvest when weather is cooling off, instead of during mid-summer heat.
3. Extend your window of being able to enjoy garden fresh veggies.
4. Less pest, disease, and w**d pressure in late summer/fall for growing plants!
5. Cooler growing conditions during ripening for cool season veggies, making for sweeter-tasting harvests.
🥬If you put in the effort to get a fresh round of veggies planted NOW, you will be so thankful you did when you’re enjoying fresh veggies in September and October, long after most spring planted vegetables have given up and called it quits!
Come to the greenhouse for cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, celery, cucumbers, zucchini plants, and more for the fall garden, as well as a fresh stock of herbs and flowers such as marigolds, celosia, ageratum, zinnias, dwarf sunflowers, basil, cilantro, dill, and more. Supply is limited and veggie plants have been moving fast, so don’t wait to come out and get yours!
Blessings,
