Why plant a fall garden?

Planting a fall garden is one of the best ways to extend your growing season, enjoy fresh vegetables later in the year, and make the most of cooler weather. Unlike the summer heat, autumn provides ideal growing conditions for many hearty crops that thrive as temperatures drop. A well-planned fall garden can reward you with nutritious, homegrown produce well into the season. Here is an article that describes the benefits of planting in the fall.

For residents in the Burlington, NC area, starting a fall garden now is still an excellent option. Thanks to recent extreme weather patterns that have delayed the onset of cooler conditions, it’s not too late to get your plants in the ground. The soil is still warm enough to encourage strong root growth, while the crisp air helps reduce stress on young plants. This creates the perfect balance for establishing a healthy, productive fall garden.
