FALL HERB GARDENS
 
With just a little early planning, you can have several herbs that like cool weather this Fall.  Fall Herb Garden suggestions include parsley (flat Italian or curled), sage, rosemary, thyme, chives, lavender, Basil, cilantro, and mint. Within a few weeks, you will be rewarded with the freshest flavors for autumn meals.
Cilantro is a great cool-weather herb!

Read about Cool Weather Crops

 
Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Mustard and Turnips can withstand a touch of frost and do well during Fall.
Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Parsnips, Collards and Artichokes can actually improve with a bit of frost.
 RADISH is an excellent Fall crop. 
It is easy to grow and a quick harvest!


If you have warmer days and cold nights, consider planting greens in small containers to bring inside at night.  Or, plant a windowsill garden to harvest fresh greens such as European Mesclun Mix and Arugula.
