Autumn is my favorite time of year! As the air becomes crisp and fresh, I find myself reenergized and geared up for a second round of gardening.
For me, growing crops in the fall has become a fantastic way to continue to bask in the garden magic for much longer each year.

In fact, many species and varieties, such as various cole crops, become even more tender and flavorful when planted for an autumn harvest.

Many thanks for the new thread! :-)
As an experiment, I cut the eye out of a potato some time back and stuck it in the ground, watering it regularly and keeping the soil as loose as possible. The foliage is now beginning to die off, which I’m told means it’ll be time soon to harvest the potatoes. Looking forward to it!
Bad news on tomatoes but good news on green beans. The blossoms I reported last week are all brown and crunchy, so late tomatoes may be a no-go. However, several green bean seeds that I stuck in the ground just to see if they’d grow have been producing! Granted, it’s only 4 or 5 beans in all . . . but something is better than nothing, right? :-)
Anyone know if turnips can be grown in large containers and moved inside the house when it gets cold?
