Fall crop

[Chic Rustler]

Well so far I have gathered a few seeds for fall. I have make, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and root crops: rutabaga, beets, turnips, carrots, radishes and parsnips. What else is good for fall in Texas? I have a lot of space to fill!


What about herbs? Will they do ok in fall? Suggestions?

Broccoli!

Thinking quick… rosemary, thyme and origanum is quite hardy and all nice herbs.

In your weather, probably a crop of peas. If you eat greens, collards, kale, etc. I love them -- so do the goats & chickens.

Remember to fill a few rows for the chickens, rabbits. My chickens loved turnips. Seeds are not generally expensive for these type things and they can be used for animal feeds.

I move things around, but I plant tomatoes in the same spot. You have a good fall garden list. If you have a dehydrator, load it up with tomatoes. They are so good crumbled over your salads in the winter. Who wants nasty store tomatoes in the winter?

I'm ready to plant too. But our harvest just started. wish this stuff would hurry up!

Someone said green beans will do well in the fall. Have any of you tried it? It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to plant legumes where the corn is now to help repair the soil.

Will lettuce grow in a couple months? I got 2 kinds of kale. Thinking of planting spinach as well
