@southerntoatea: Think gardening ends in summer? Nope — fall is actually the easiest, most rewarding season to grow! Cooler temps mean happier plants, fewer bugs, and less work for you. Plus, crops like kale and carrots get sweeter after a frost, and you can plant garlic and onions now for a head start on spring. It’s low-maintenance, high-reward gardening — and your garden (and dinner plate) will thank you all winter long! 🍂🥕💚 🪴 Seeds I’m starting right now: brassica family, alliums, herbs, & pollinator flowers 🪴 Seeds I’m starting beginning of August: lettuces & beet family 🪴 Seeds I’m directly sowing (planting): legumes & carrot family seeds 🍁Always read each seed packet for growing details & plant according to your growing zone (I’m 8A in North Carolina) Brassica Family -broccoli, broccoli raab, broccolini -cabbage (green, red, savoy, Napa) -cauliflower & romanesco -Brussel sprouts -kale (curly, lacinato, Russian, dinosaur, etc) -collard greens -kohlrabi -mustard greens -arugula -turnips -radishes -rutabaga Carrot Family -carrots -parsnips -celery -fennel Allium Family -garlic (plant near Halloween) -shallots -onions (short day variety) -leeks -chives & bunch green onions Lettuce Family -lettuce (all types) -endive -escarole -chicory -radicchio -Belgian endive Beet Family -beets -Swiss chard -spinach Legume Family -sugar snap peas -English shelling peas -snow peas -fava beans Herbs -cilantro -dill -parsley -chervil -borage -lovage -salad burnet -chives -thyme -oregano -sage -rosemary -winter savory -lemon balm Pollinator Flowers -calendula -nasturtiums -asters -goldenrod -black-eyed Susan -cosmos -marigolds -sunflowers -zinnias #fallgarden #gardendiy #veggiegarden #northcarolina #kitchengarden #grow #growwithme #plantsofinstagram #veggiepatch #newgarden #gardeninspiration #seedstarting #zone8a #wintergardening #pollinatorgarden #companionplanting #organicgardening #backyardgarden #backyardhomestead #suburbangarden #homestead
