Well I am on the road today on my way to Norther Tennessee for some vacation and RV time. Let’s face it, it is HOT right now, it is 4 days until the dog days of August begin but that actually means fall is bearing down on us all like a freight train. Only about 40 days from now many of us will be standing in the dove fields with shot guns in hand, kids will be back in school and archers will be scouting for the coming deer season. The days will shorten, the leaves will turn and summer will become a memory. The ants will be going made getting prepped for winter and many gardens will “shut down” until next spring.
There is no reason to shut down garden operations in fall, it can be and often is the best time of the year for many crops. While the peppers may die in the first freeze and even a mild frost will take out the green beans there are a lot of things that can tolerate frost or can be container grown and sheltered at least from the first few frosts. Add a bit of frost protecting and you can have garden free salad on Thanksgiving day.
