I enjoy Fall gardening far more than summer gardening.
“There are not as many vegetables,” my husband tells me. Correct statement, yet it does not change my opinion over preference. I enjoy the cool temperatures, magnificent blue skies, and no bugs.
I worked in the garden over two hours today and never broke a sweat! Ahhhhh, such joy! In summer, ugh! So much sweat and bugs.
The garden officially has been ‘put to bed’ for the season. All planted in winter rye that is coming up beautifully, covered with leaf mulch.
However, I decided to plant onion and garlic. I am anxious to see how they turn out. I may even plant beets.
of onion and garlic.
Other fall crops could be planted, but I’m going to pass on them this year, i.e., lettuce and leafy greens. Perhaps next season.
Garden decorations are in all the gardens.
I am sure by the time Spring comes around I shall be all ready for the hot, lush, summer gardening.
How about you? Do you garden? What do you like grow?
winter gardens are fun!!
Yes, I agree!🍂
I like your take on fall gardening. I will plant garlic and onions as well. Peas are still going strong, as are broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, kale, strawberries and greenhouse tomatoes. Definitely not as much work tending, watering and picking… so yes, I am in agreement with you! Loved the views of your garden!
Have you ever planted onion and garlic
My raised beds are full of plants that will go into a new shade garden in the spring. Of course, that means shade plants are in the sun, but soon they will be covered by snow and protected. I do not grow onion or garlic but certainly wish you well. Will your peach tree remain outside or need to come in? Here’s hoping it loves your farm.
Is that where you put them for winter, Judy? I have not planted onion and garlic before, so we’ll see how it goes. The peach tree I believe we’ll leave outside. Farmers grow peach trees around here, but late frosts have killed the buds in spring. We really are on the edge for them.
Happy Fall, Judy! 🎃🍂
I’ve never put shade plants in the sun before, but we have a huge tree that is coming down hopefully before the snow flies, and I had to move all the plants that were in the surrounding area. The empty raised beds seemed like the obvious place to store them, but we’ll see how they do. Perennials are normally pretty tough, but they will be exposed to more sun and will most likely be buried under feet of snow through the winter. I raise my coffee cup to the success of your peach tree.
Well, that sounds like a plan. Guess we’ll see about the little peach tree. 🤩
Beautiful garden, Buds!!!! Your peach is glorious. Mine is still such a tiny baby!!🤔😒Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 16, 2026,
