It’s the First Day of Fall! Did you know Fall is actually one of the best times to plant certain crops that thrive in cooler weather? Here are some tasty (and hardy) options:
🥬 Leafy Greens – Spinach, arugula, and kale love cooler temps and can handle a little frost. Bonus: many will keep producing well into fall, and kale can last into winter with some protection.
🥕 Root Vegetables – Radishes are super fast (ready in 3–4 weeks!), while turnips and beets can give you a nice fall harvest if planted soon.
🌿 Herbs – Cilantro and parsley are perfect cool-weather herbs. Cilantro especially grows better now than in the summer heat.
🧄 Other Staples – Garlic, shallots, and onions planted in late September/October will overwinter and reward you with a flavorful harvest next summer.
Have you tried planting in the fall before?
