Fall gardens can still produce good eatin' for your family. Just because the weather is cooler, does not mean you have to give up on gardening until spring. Today I share a picture tour of our fall garden. (The last post tells you what we pulled out of the garden. This one tells you what is still growing and producing for us.)
Please note, since the last post, we have no more sweet corn or zucchini.
The strawberry plants are in the garden. Click on the previous post for information and photos of our new strawberry bed.
Now join me as we check out what delicious veggies we DO have!!
We have been very pleased with the Kentucky Wonder pole beans. Yes, they grew very tall and my DH had to add more concrete re-enforcement wire to make an eight foot support for them.
Pole beans are long, thin, and tender. Not what I imagined. A happy surprise for me.
Cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli are all good growers in cool weather.
Garden Tip: Sprinkle one teaspoon of ammonium sulphate (21-0-0) around the base of these plants after they have been growing in the garden for four-five weeks in order to promote growth. (The numbers indicate the amount of Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium in the material.)
Broccoli is tasty again in the cool weather and no worry about finding the green worms on the plants with cold temperatures.
We are already digging up the sweet potatoes, but leaving some to grow larger.
Tomatoes are flourishing on the vines. We have fantastic crops of these versatile red fruits.
We also have cauliflower, peppers, beets, carrots, sugar snap peas, and onions in the garden.
I hope you are enjoying some good eatin' from your garden this fall.
