Johnny says he is going to start a fall garden inside. Greeneyes, you say you are maybe starting seeds for a fall garden. Isn’t this fall now? I would say the plants I have outside now are fall garden plants - is that not right? I mean it’s September - isn’t that fall?
I think there is a conspiracy to give me wrong information so as to confuse me. It must be an insidious plot - let me get my tin foil hat so you can’t get in my brain.
I don’t get your garden lingo - what months are in the fall garden season?
Well, I know that on my Fanick's Calendar that seeds planted July 1st and into November are considered part of Fall Garden Crops..
Hope you get to feeling better soon.
I think I said fall and winter garden. Officially fall begins September 22-based on position of earth with respect to sun.
From a practical standpoint, any crop I plant now that matures in 30 days is a fall plant. I plant lettuce, carrots, onions, garlic, snap beans, wheat, and rye in the fall. Some matures during the fall, some during the winter, and some in the spring. I call this my fall and/or winter garden.
Sometimes we get a small frost, and can actually grow stuff until December with a little help from row covers on various cold nights. Sometimes it’s colder, and we get less fall and more winter. Some stuff continues to grow until you get down to freezing temps. Tomatoes don’t they need 50 degrees at night.
States to the south of Missouri, usually can grow stuff much longer into the “fall” and “winter” than we can. All is relative with respect to planting season, but technically fall hasn’t started yet.LOL
