A few weeks ago we discussed “getting ready for fall” but now with the fall equinox only 20 days away it is time to take action. There is a lot to do as we head into fall, many see the fall as the end of the gardening season but with a few steps it can be the very best time of the year for your homestead and garden activities.
Tune in today as we discuss…
- Now is the time to start harvesting some of your seed stock
- Consider taking cuttings before the first killing frost and work on cloning over the winter
- Is it time to build that green house you keep talking about
- Plant peas and fava beans they are very cold hardy and add variety to the fall/winter mix
- The heavy hitters of the fall/winter garden – corn salad, lettuce, lambs quarters, spinach, broccoli and more
- Now is the time to build new beds
- It is also time to select an end of life time for some plants
- Start seeds to take the place of plants with only a few weeks left
- Try digging up some peppers this year
