Just because summers almost over doesn’t mean you can’t continue to grow and harvest food. Many gardeners grow fall vegetables well into winter. Having home grown food beats grocery store food hands down! There are so many vegetables you can grow successfully!
Here are some seeds that you can sow for a fall vegetable harvest:
- Arugula

- Kale
- Leeks
- Lettuce
- Mustard greens

These fall vegetables are all cool-weather crops that can be planted in late summer and harvested in the fall or early winter. They are a great way to extend your growing season and enjoy fresh, homegrown vegetables. If you grow your vegetables under cover you can extend your gardening season even longer.
