Fall Gardening: How to Prepare Where You Live

If you�re an avid gardener, it�s not time to store up the tools. While early spring is the traditional time to start a garden, the fall months offer the perfect time of year for certain crops. And depending upon where you live, mostly anything you can successfully plant in the spring can also be planted in the fall. Let�s take a look that some of the crops that actually do better with a fall plant compared to spring time. Leafy vegetables for example such as lettuce, cabbage and kale flourish with a fall planting.

In the northeast, you get much cooler weather sooner than in other regions. Plants that do well in your region include carrots, lettuce, broccoli, turnips and arugula. If you wait until after the first frost before planting your carrots will be so much sweeter as well. In the Midwest region, you can plant pretty much what those in the northeast do. You can also add sweet or green peas to the mix as well as greens such as mustard or collard greens. Spinach, too.

The southeastern region will have warmer fall and winter months and a longer growing season as well. In fact, the fall and winter months in some areas of the south are ideal for fall planting. In the southeast, plant some tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. Peppers work well here as do beets and potatoes. In the southwestern regions of the United States, in addition to potatoes and tomatoes, plant some fall carrots, too. The temperate climes of the southeast and southwest can make certain plants actually do better than in the scorching heat of late spring and summer. And in the northwest, while not as sunny during fall and winter as in other regions, crops such as potatoes, lettuce and other leafy greens flourish here.

When your planting season is over, turn over your garden soil and cover with some healthy, organic mulch. Doing so will prime your soil for the perfect spring and summer garden. And come the following fall, let�s do it all again!
