My daughter is moving to Denver. She won’t be in the house until August. She asked me what she can plant that late in the season. Any suggestions? I have never planted fall crop in RI or Texas so I had no clue.

turnips, beets, peas, anything in the broccoli/cabbage family if she can find established plants in a store. Also lettuce, radishes, cilantro, bok choi. Denver is a tricky place to grow much of anything. If the late/early freezes don’t get it, the hailstorms will.

I’m planning on a fall garden with carrots, peas, beets, the cabbage family, things like that. I keep my tomato
plant in it’s pot, when cool weather sets in, into the garage it comes, I’ll do the same with my pepper plants, sweet and jalapeno. I live in central TX, so our winters are usually pretty mild. My garage is like a green house in the winter. I do my seeding near the back wall and the plants behind and on the sides of the golf cart.
I ordered a mini fig tree. When it came last summer, it had a fig one it. It overwintered in the garage and it now resides on the patio, but NO figs. Do figs need other figs to pollinate? My fig tree in the community garden is tiny and FULL of figs, there are no figs trees anywhere near it.
