Planting a vegetable garden isn’t just for spring; here’s what to grow for fall

A lot of stuck-at-home people saw bare grocery shelves this spring and decided, “Maybe this would be a good year to start a vegetable garden.”

So many newbies had that idea that a March run on seeds forced some seed companies to temporarily stop taking orders.

For sure, not all of March’s good intentions turned into August tomatoes. But whether you’ve failed miserably at this 2020 gardening experiment or are tickled at how surprisingly well things went, this isn’t the end of the veggie line.

Food-growing isn’t just a spring thing.

The cooling weather of fall is perfectly suited for many of the same crops that are planted in late winter to early spring for late-spring to early-summer harvest, i.e. lettuce, carrots, red beets, broccoli, and cabbage.

Rather than let the vegetable garden run its course, savvy gardeners replant now for late-summer and fall harvest.

THE BASICS OF PRUNING SHRUBS AND WOODY PLANTS

When to prune, how to prune, where to prune? There’s no other task that strikes fear into the heart of most amateur gardeners as does the subject of pruning plants.

Yet successful pruning can be among the most satisfying of garden tasks, because the results can be spectacular. Done correctly, it can yield an abundance of flowers, foliage, and fruit.

However, done incorrectly, it can result in damaged plants, disappointment, and failure! No wonder we fear the process.

While pruning successfully may appear complicated and difficult, the fact is that it is no more complex than the many other gardening activities that gardeners engage in regularly.
